rear drive axles replacements ..

[jaimster]

hello Guys,

So, I'm getting back to my 01 Boxster 986 suspension components replacement
fronts and rear shocks, lower controls arms, sway links, rear drive axles (boots replacements and regreasing ball bearings where possible) fuel filter, air oil separator

ISSUES here:
after replacing boots on BOTH ends and removing inner ball bearings, carrier or hubs sorry DO NOT KNOW proper names , repacking new grease NOW

.. rear axles inner CV joint ARE rigid , NOT turning or swiveling at ALL
is that normal ?- where did I go wrong when reassembling them ?

I can't remenber how they felt when I removed them !!

any input appreciated ..
