Hi Dalston. Welcome to the forum. You need to put some punctuation in that really long sentence. It can be misinterpreted three different ways. Look at the right inner cv joint. It most likely pulled out of the transmission when the lower control arm was apart. They are spring-loaded, so if you line it up straight, it might pop in place without pulling the control arm apart again. Once it's in, the spring pressure will keep it in place.
