2g awd swap left front axle problem

[santa]

I'm having a problem with the outer cv boot popping off the cup, after about 100miles of driving. The car is a 95 eclipse, that was a gs-t that I converted to awd. I bought a 95 parts car and used every part that was on that car. I checked around and made sure that the intermediate shaft that I had got from that parts car was the right one. That seems to be right. I know the hanger bearing (the hanger bearing seems to be good on the current one) is different for 97-99. But, I don't know if the length is any different. The axle is a re-man from oreillies. The car is lowered. The front end is tight. There is nothing rubbing the boot or anything like that. The clamp stay's on the boot. The boot just slips off and all the grease comes out.

So, what I've come up with so far is:
A: The axle boot that is on the re-man axle looks like they are putting the small part of the boot to far away from the joint. It looks stretched out just sitting straight.

B: The 97-99 intermediate shaft is needed from some reason or another?

C: The car is sitting to low and putting a funny angle on the joint (this sounds really stupid to me but yeah).

Your C. choice is what was happening to my car for 3 years, I went through 3 sets of front axles before I changed my suspension setup especially after I did my AWD swap. If your running the same FWD suspension on an AWD car its going to drop it even more than it was because the AWD weighs more, putting even more stress on those axles.

He's right. There is also the fact that the FWD suspension isn't really lined up exactly for AWD. The axles on a FWD come out of the trans further forward than they do on an AWD

Thanks for the advice guy's I'm going to throw the suspension that came with the awd parts car on and a new axle in and see how it does. I do have the fwd suspension in the car right now and thought that might have been it. I'll try that and see what happens.

Thanks again Gofer! I put in the stock awd suspension with a new axle tonight and took it for a drive. Things drive's 100% better!
