Yep I did it and knew better but was at friends house and didn't have the proper setting to do this job. So 1999 alpha one gen 2. I knocked a pretty large tab off the retainer nut when removing ujoints. Would this cause a steering knock hard right and hard left? I actually think the knock is from gimbal bearing not fully seated cause I didn't align engine or have a gimbal driver available. Boat runs perfectly and smooth no noises unless you hard turn all the way either direction. I have removed the drive and ujoints are fine. What's the worse outcome not fixing the retainer tab? I understand it may not seal as well but other than that please tell me your thought. . When I took drive off today the bellows was nice and dry. All help appreciated.
