Yes!, the early CV joint is very close to the pan. I just did a swap on a friends truck. I had to set the joint in place a couple of times to check clearance while dimpling (massaging) the pan with a ball peen hammer for clearance. The CV actually was scraping paint off the pan before hand. I had to sand some of the edges off the CV also.
