2012年11月27日 · Yeah I was probably going overboard on causality, but I have never seen a CV joint fail for any other reason than lack of lubrication, unless you count collisions. If you want to split hairs more, I am talking about the Rzeppa type CV joints that are commonly found on the outboard end of axle halfshafts (especially FWD).

2019年1月21日 · Ultimately if this is DIY, the vehicle has some lifespan (miles and low rust) left, I would go ahead and replace both CV axles and hubs. Either way if you DIY, make sure you tighten the axle nuts to the correct torque spec, with weight on the wheel at final torque.

2003年4月1日 · This means that the suspension holds the wheel on, but the CV joint (and axle) provide power to the wheel. Generally if a CV joint goes the worst problem would be a LOUD clicking sound from the axle, especially on turns. If it were to SNAP (which it really can't do, but I guess it COULD fall apart) it would just leave the wheel freewheeling.

2012年3月26日 · ask for clarification from tech. Get him to print out a diagram and point out the exact spot he thinks is the problem. "Your Axel is Bad" is very non-specific. "axel" could mean many different parts other than cv's Half shaft assemblies for the 1996 Accord V6 can be bought at Rockauto for $40.00.

2004年4月17日 · Clicking means there's a play in the CV joint, which generally means there isn't/wasn't enough lubricant and the parts wore out. I think what actually happens inside is the ball eats away at the cage and the outer race making a pit and the click you hear is the ball rolling over the pit when the wheel is turned hard (hard turns force the balls ...

2005年6月29日 · Bad cv joints usually click during turning not clunk, but could still be bad. Look at the cv boot, if it's cracked and grease flung all over it's probably bad or going to be. If the boot is sound, it's probably fine. Emphasis on probably. Most cv joints die of …

2018年10月22日 · Back in my days with the fleet of '79 Civics, I'd go to the junkyard and find a transaxle. Then I'd clean it up with carb cleaner and whatever took the axle grease off it, add new grease and a boot with bands. Never had one of those salvage parts go bad. Of course, that was then -- this is now . . .

2004年10月18日 · The noise is on driver side 100%. i pulled the wheel off and put the car in drive and listen for the noise. The noise is either coming from the CV axle or the wheel bearing. Its there the hub meets. Here are my issues and why i think its mainly the CV axle. 1. CV axle boot on that side is torn and leaking, Just started not a lot of grease all ...

2013年8月11日 · I replaced the entire CV axle assembly. Parts were around $70, it took a few hours but I had a hard time getting some things apart (northeastern car...). I hadn't done anything on cars except for basic maintenance like brakes, and it was still pretty doable with the right tools.

2009年5月18日 · So, do they? I know they do axle work and struts. Also, this is the first time i'm buying tires. They are for my Impreza. How much do a decent set of tires go for? I don't want to get robbed at the shop when i take it in.
