Front Suspension Hub Problems of Chevrolet Uplander

2007 chevy Uplander cv axle splines not long enough to fit all the way into hub splines cause shuddering from cv axle wobble. Frequent clicking from changing gear to gear is a result of the cv axle spinning inside the hub (press brake and gas) the remedy for this problem of shuddering and stalling at when at a go from a stop is the replace cv axle with one that has a longer shaft with splines that actually extend through the hub so that the hub nut threads do not enter the hub bearing and the cv axle splines run all the way through. The wobbling on take off is from the axle not gripping inside the hub, sort of like a dradle as the hub does not completely grip the axle shaft.
