Thanks for responding. The CV seems to be okay. The flywheel matches the one I replaced (single mass). After some investigation, I found that the left axle was not all the way in. It seemed like it was, so I pushed with all my might to get it in further. But it still would not move very much. So, I connected the axle to the hub and I was slamming it really hard with the shock disconnected so I was able to use the weight and force of the spindle to help push it. I was pushing (really slamming) much harder than I am used to and I still don't think it's all the way in. I drained the oil again, hoping I could see how far the axle had gone, but there is a small joint around where both axles meet the differential.
The new problem I am worried about: is the axle in far enough? Tomorrow I will test for vibration again. Here is a pic of the axle as far as I could get it in. The 2015 has a few differences than the 2012 I saw you working on. When you put that left axle in, the case is different. See the pic below. It spins okay and the dust boot over the CV nearest the axle is not nearly as pinched as it was before, but I still don't think that CV is in all the way. What do you think?
