I am replacing my front driveshaft CV universal joint on my 2002 Durango RT. Everything is ready to go back together. The question I have is since there are six contact points located in, I presume, 60 degree increments, does the new CV joint assembly require positioning with one opposite pair of ***** in line with the front spicer joint or, alternatively, some point where the 90 degree segments up fron are evenly in between the six ***** in the rear CV joint....or is orientation not an issue at all?

 

If it mattered, there would be a key-way on one of the splines.

 

OH!....You mean like as in the master splines that all of the older style driveshaft slip yokes don't have? (I can be sarcastic too)

 

Wasn't being sarcastic at all, just brief. Slip on the new cv unit in any orientation.
