Default Why do these CVD's seem too long?

I got MIP CVD's(Part# 1600) for my 3.3...I just stuck them on and I can't even turn them over, it's almost as though the shafts are way too long or something...there's no free play, when the suspension is all the way out, the wheels won't even turn...what am I doing wrong????

Haven't been able to get pics yet, but I got aluminum control arms, and I loosened the screws going from the steering block to the control arm and the CVD's spin freely now, anyone else done this??

do you have the wheels on? If not it is possible that the bearings are not seated all the way into the axel carrier wich would definatly make them seem to long.

He has a good point. Make sure the bearing are seated fully.
