Hey guys, when I did my clutch job, my passenger axle at 1 point came out of the extension socket slightly but the boot that goes over it to protect it completely covers it so I couldn't exactly see if the seal was on, so my question is, is the seal known to stay inside the extension socket and would that let the passenger axle move freely out of the socket, or does the whole passenger side wheel assembly keep it from slipping out?

This is the closest picture I have but what i am talking about would be more to the left. What the boot goes over.

There is no way that it can come out while you are driving. The whole strut assemble needs to be taken apart for you to get the axle out. Everything in the pic looks fine.
