Bad (or wrong type) of CVs? Lack of lubrication meaning the cage and balls were locking in place against the flange, causing rubbing?
The old ones were worn but all still intact. Full of lube.

I've seen that damage after a CV failure. Should be OK to use.
Could have happened with the PO. I am using them now, but always wondered what could've caused it.

It looks like the star has been banging into it. was the cir clip on it?
Cir-clips were there, but once removed I couldn't get the cv's off due to the marred splines on the shaft. Got replacement shafts from Jeffs9146!!! Thanks again Jeff!
Just wondering if there was any way to avoid this or if it was normal wear. One cv did have a lot of extension compared to the others. I thought it was just worn out, but both flanges had similar signs of galling.
