Nothing. Go back and match the marks of crud up . You just need to know which axle (twoCVs plus shaft) went on which side of car, not their exact position

I’ve been doing a bunch of reading on the placement of the CV parts in orientation of the flange/shaft. That all makes sense, per square there.
The axle shaft is just an axle shaft right? There’s no in/out left right on it is there?

since i didnt mark them, i noticed this here, which lines up with my having bearing balls of 2 different sizes.
I am assuming one of these cages is the loebro and one is the OEM, anyone identify?
Notice one of the bearing cages have these notches

| The cages certainly need to match the ball sizes. As far as the one ball that looks pitted, I don't think I would run it or any others that look that rough. |

Groove ball groove tolerance is important , don’t mix these if you can avoid. Yes, I have mixed and no explosions occurred.
Cage tolerance is much looser as these more just hold ball position than take thrust forces. I’ve mixed many cages on CVS without I’ll effects, you can say that cage free joints are happier, just like hens.

A bit of thought (it's not 'intuitive'!) will let you position and use the CVs so the thrust is on the unworn sides - in this case it may not be so essential to keep all the bits in the same relative place as they were before.
But remember to keep track of them next time!

Id say buy new lobros and get on with life. When these dont ride well youll be back in the grease, Ive reloaded some real shitty parts in the past but I was en route and just needed to get someplace. If your home and can float them. Buy new ones and do the job once. Measure the shafts and see if new joints will fit 1st. Its one of those jobs that sucks to do twice or on the side of the road. Too much damn grease to contend with.
