I have a 1995 areostar that I had the driver side front axel axel changed on since then I have gone through 3 drive axels in 2 weeks. The passenger side axel has a spacer between the trans axel and the drive axel should there be a spacer on the driver side as well? There is no spacer there.

if the one side has a spacer so should the driverside.

when the first one was replaced it was probably overlooked and forgotten causing the rapid use of driveshafts.

also make sure its being installed properly and with good quality parts.

i woudl try another place.
