[lexusfan100]

what will be the symptoms if the front axle cv joint goes bad

[1aauto]

@lexusfan100 Sometimes when your driving down the road you'll hear a thumping noise.

thanks for this video ! it helps me with my 96contour, the part about how to remove the joint fron the trans.case was what i needed...however, at the end u didnt lock the 32 mm nut .... do i need to lock it????? george from n.c.

[1aauto]

@georgebenfield On our vehicle there was a washer and a 30MM nut that you would need to put back on. This holds the axle to the hub. Hope this helps you out.

Do I need to remove the full axle to replace just the CV joint? Or can I replace this while the axle is still attached to the transmission?

[1aauto]

@sseeker21 You would need to remove the axle from the transmission. Usually it's easier to just replace the axle.

did u say the hub bolt is 100lbs torque? is this the same for a 03 corolla?

[1aauto]

@26dolla On this application, yes you would need to tighten the hub bolt on your 03 Toyota Corolla to 100lbs of torque.

has anyone figured out why the strut still stays in about an inch with all the bolts removed? control arm doesnt go low enough or is strut just too long?

[mikeunavailable]

@rovero Same here. About ready to remove the control arm and whatever else is holding the knuckle so that I can drop the knuckle off the strut. Wish a1auto would respond to this problem...Otherwise, great video.

[1aauto]

@mikeunavailable It should come right apart as shown in the video.

[mikeunavailable]

@1aauto Thanks for the incredibly quick reply! I agree, it should, but ocassionally it doesn't. Several have had this problem. I suspect that if the strut is worn out the strut will not offer enough resistance and just moves with the knuckle. Still, yours are the best auto repair videos.

[wangbungal]

is this the same for the ford focus 2002 se? when you insert the axle back,does it have a specific orientation to go back to the transaxle?

[lthornto]

I can't get this to work for me. I get where the strut is still about 1 inch inside the knuckle, then it jumps back in to about two inches. I bought a 4 lb hammer for this and I have beat the hell out of it.

[CainPire]

Great video sir. Fine job. Thanks a million!!

[MrKaoVue]

would taking off the strut at any point mess up the alignment?

[1aauto]

@MrKaoVue It's always a good idea after making a suspension repair to have the alignment checked.

[chituck]

this well help me out. when im driving the crunching grinding noises from the cv are getting worse. i just had teh wheels off to inspect and sure enough thats what it is. your way of changing the axle is much easier then other sites. thumbs up

[Jeffersonianwisdom]

I made the unfortunate mistake of removing the half-axle boot clamp whne doing this. Is there any trick to getting that clamp back on?

[1aauto]

@Jeffersonianwisdom I believe you need the crimping tool and a new band.

[Jeffersonianwisdom]

@1aauto I actually figured it out a couple of days ago, and I was able to get the old band onto the boot with it off of the transmission axle housing, and then shimmying the boot onto the transmission axle housing. Before I was trying to put the band on with the boot still on the trans.

thanks for video

[lilpsycho213]

Why you have less views than expertvillage suprises me! Your videos are freaking 100x better than their's. All i have to say is... my new cv axle works like a charm

[rykuss]

Thanks for this video! Of course my wife's taurus had to be difficult and wouldn't cooperate so I had to loosen a couple extra things but I got it. This video made it all make sense though. Thanks again!

[hersel555]
