Got a call that the (hopefully) right part to fix my car had come in, and went to my mechanic this afternoon.
After previously noting that a previous repair had installed the incorrect half-axle, last week I had gone in only to learn that the wrong part had been sent.
This time, the right part had been sent, the installation proceeded, and the mechanic talked to me about the problem.
It seems that the part is frequently mis-identified by aftermarket suppliers. Apparently, it is different for manual and automatic transmissions. Aftermarket suppliers apparently only stock, or list, the manual one. This is what was installed on my Kia, which has an automatic transmission.
My mechanic took a picture of the two different ones. The differences aren't obvious, but they are visible. I'm lucky to have found someone who is persistent and does research in dealing with my car.
I never had anybody like that since I moved to North Carolina in 1986, let alone in my last eleven-plus years in Syracuse.
Now I do. I hope that this fixes the last of the problems I've been dealing with on my car for the last three years. I'll be able to drive to my sister's in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving on Thursday.
I am grateful. And thankful.
