Thanks Steve. I'll keep an eye on it. I don't think I went real tight with it. I just kept snugging it down a little at a time until the "clunk" went away when I grab hold of both sections and wiggled them around. So I think there's still some allowance for the splines to slip a bit if they have a mind to. I just thought it was kinda wierd the repair CD didn't give any kind of specs as they do for anything else on the car.
I was glad to see that the center support bearing looks fairly fresh, and the u-joint had no perceivable slop at all. The PO of this car really did take care of this thing as I was told. The more I get into this car, the more I see it was cared for.
