I would consider it to be of no or very little consequence, unless
this was a heavily abused rock crawler application.

Im not sure what Tom was saying?
Is he saying that its installed under compression or not?
I looked at it again, it still looks to me like its installed wrong. I hate to contradict Tom because he's been in this business for a long time and is highly respected (its like telling Micheal Jordan his jumpshot is all wrong), but, he doesnt seem to care what his own supplier is saying, Im baffled???? No offense Tom, maybe Im just confused.
Anyway, I didnt mean to be controversial, I thought this was something most people who deal with driveline stuff knew.
