Probably the happiest mechanic on KZfaq. Just loves his job. My truck is just in the shop for new CV Axles & Hubs. I had a clicking turning hard left which escalated to a bad clucking. The CV Axles were missing the rubber boots for two winters now. Thanks for the informative video 👍

Great diagnosis scenarios, I used 1Aauto videos and parts to fix my 2000 Honda Odyssey and now going to fix up my 2009 Honda Civic CV, Struts and shocks once the weather gets better here.

This is the best online auto repair instruction I've seen. Very clear and easy to understand and see all the components. Nice job, thanks!

Always love your guys shows, I haven't done one of these yet, but I'm sure I'll be able to now, when I need to, for now I've a big, powerful battery powered impact wrench! Thanks Fella

I like the way you calmly explaining all the stuff about cv joints. Great video.

As always a well done, informative vid. It's a good time for a wheel alignment, after installing an axle.

It’s my first time here…great video. Even I understood completely the job that was done….Not too bad for a girl that know nothing about cars.Thank you for this video.you are a great teacher

I just had our local garage replace both front axles in my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 within the last two months. Unfortunately, last Saturday I had a complete axle failure while on the highway 20 klicks from home. I was able to limp home and get the truck into the garage on Monday. We found out that the tripod joint had failed, and the failure had nothing to do with incorrect installation as I originally thought. A brand new axle failing.. interesting. Your video is very informative and helpful, thank you.

Great vid. I have installed cv shafts, never took one apart. Since I am in there, I change the axle seals (I wish there was just one axle seal design and one tool). Mainly because I don't want to go back in again. You make it look so easy. Anytime I go under a car, something is seized, strut bolts, shock bushings, the cv joint itself in the way of the break caliper bolts or hub bolts etc. 5hrs to change hub, CV axle, strut to coil over. Murphy always shows up @#$# shock bushings. Don't get me started on shock bushings. Saw you video on that too.

Very good & detailed demonstration. Thanks for sharing

Great job. Very informative. Thank you.

Excellent demonstration. Thumbs up

Best video about CV joint /axis on youtube! 👍

Enjoyed your video, I have clicking sound when I turn either right or left, I will be taking it to the shop because I live in a apartment complex, really no where to do the job but now I know....good feeling to know.

Thanks for making this video.

GOD! It is sooo much easier to work when using a lift. A jack and 2 or 4 jack stands can make the job so much harder. Thanks for sharing this.

I had a 85 ford Taurus with 150,000 miles on it and the cv axel was popping and clicking really bad but i couldn't afford to even buy a used axel so i tried something to see if it would keep it going a bit longer, i got a can of insulation foam and i filled the cv boot completely full of the foam and i let it dry over night, i ended up putting 150,000 more miles on that cv axel so it was original with now over 300,000 miles on it and it was still going with no noise, that insulation foam works really good by filling in all the loose areas and keeping the dirt out, give it a try and you will be amazed

Nice...thanks for explaining it so well

Very informative. Do you have or have you considered doing a video on a popping front end of an F150 ('13) once 4 wheel drive is engaged? Thanks for making repairs look easy.

If you want to hate life itself, try doing a passenger side Sienna CV.

Awesome video!! Thanks a million.

Great video. It must be nice to work on a vehicle when everything isn't all rusted.

thanks for the ultra pro demo video!

Wow very informative video! Thank you!

Such an informative video, thank you! I seem to be getting intermittent clicking noise at higher speeds too as well as a humming noise when turning at very slow speeds especially when i have my foot on the brake to slow down at the same time as turning. Any ideas?

Greetings from Lagos Nigeria ❤

Good Video, very informative.

Perfect video! Thank you sir!

Thanks alot for the video.

Great job my brother😊

Nice & in detail, pls keep it up..

Can u also mention the causes and also if they are covered under warranty! Thanks for your work !

good technical explanation of outer Axel CV joint issues # mostly out axel CV joint collapse & create problems #👍🇵🇰

Interesting video thank you

Great job

Just replaced mine today! Thanks for the video! The inner joint was a tough one to get out with only having the car on jack stands. But that was the only hiccup! Very easy and informative video

Hi, I have hamming/vibrating noise coming from passenger side, when I'm sitting in driver seat. It's like something is spinning in uneven way. Zero up to 100 km/h nothing. It starts at 100 km/h, peaks at 110 km/h and disappears at 130 km/h. That sound is definitely connected only to car speed and not to engine rpms. Its louder when pressing gas pedal/accelerating, but it does not disappear completely when not accelerating. Its not engine, because that sound is same when in neutral or any other gear. Its not unbalances tire or wheel. I tried many different wheels. Ball joints are perfectly firm. Sound does not change when braking. There is no play in wheel in any direction. I've already changed both sides bearings and inner transmission side axl homokinetic joint since I found this joint could cause this sound. No rubber boots were damaged. All looking good as new. I used high quality replacement and nothing helped. Axl itself looks perfectly fine. I also tried clicking test when turning full left, full right and accelerating. Nothing, there is no clicking sound. No I dont know, this sound started just like that 4 month ago and does not get better or worse. Still the same. I didnt hit pot hole or anything. I'm driving quality highways. My car is vw golf 6 with only 110 000 km in very good shape. Now I plan to change outer wheel side homokinetic joint, but I dont believe it will fix it. I will be glad for all ideas and suggestions.

On that style with the c clips, if you can get a chain wrapped behind it and tug straight it usually pops wright out. Only do one side at a time.

I saw a video on the same subject and the CVJ in question had a tiny split in the boot with minimal grease depletion - there was still plenty inside the boot. A test drive showed no knocking. The problem had been noticed really early. However the garage still changed the drive shaft. They didnt answer my comment which questioned their decision to change the drive shaft. Wonder why?

Nice good job

I'm truly impressed that you called that a simple job, haha...

If you get the clicking noise, don't put this repair off. Driving in this condition for a prolonged period can cause transmission damage, or it can leave you stranded, and damage other parts. My front differential snapped and I had to find a replacement for that. It could also cause a bad accident if it goes completely while driving at high speed. Also, spend a few bucks more for original equipment. I got Motorcraft replacements for about an additional $50 total. Do noth sides at the same time. Parts and labor for the half shafts and used front differential was about $1000. It probably would have been $2500 at the dealership.

Thank you!!

Great info vid. My question is do u need a wheel alignment after u work in any part of ur suspension?

if you lift your car by the A arm you can simulate it holding its weight on the wheels and spin them freely while listening for clicking.

I have the clicking noises right now, and this video just came on my suggestions! Coincidence?

Good video

very informative video

good one

Good job. I have a kia. Spectra doing the same. Thing. Only when turn. Should i change. Both bearing an axle..

How do you find vehicles that need work done to do videos? are they employees? under impression the garage is in same building as the warehouse and corp offices. another informative video

God Job

Awesome

i had a loose lug nut cluck before---good pointer

thanks

What truck is that you made it looking easy

Good video. I also enjoyed the "curve mod" on your fender. :-D

I'm good with this guy

Nice video! Great for me since I am newly learning about car maintenance. Two questions: 1. What fluid systems does the grease leak from? 2. What should be done to make sure that the new axle is properly lubricated and that the fluid systems are maintained?

top vid

Mines not on turns. But it goes with acceleration I KNOW I need to replace my front differential on my dodge ram though, as 4x4 during winter time is a "use only to get unstuck" situation.

Thank you for that I had a mechanic today tell me it's not my cv but the boot was ripped when I baught the truck and now 2 months later it's starting to make a little noise at acelertion and 4 wheel front drive side time wearing inside of tire thingy it's my cv.?

Nice

This video came up and tbh I’m glad I clicked on it

I like your video on this cv Joint But I have an oil leakage from my car after changing the zeal on driver side on Rx300 what can I do

I like Scotty but there r mechanics that r just better than him and this vid proves it.

Here is a fun question for A1 Auto's next Q and A video. What is your most sold part? IE wheel bearings, tie rod ends, etc.

I don’t feel confident replacing this part myself, what’s the cost and labor for replacing a cv axle?? I have a 2005 Tacoma with Rear wheel drive

You can repair a split boot by filling it with grease using a plunger or a used hair dye bottle, then cleaning the outer surface of the boot around the split with a good solvent, and then applying a decent quality marine sealant like Aqua Seal or Sixaflex. That's the cheap fix.

Great video, just please lower the volume while editing when using that drill!

HOLY CRAP YOU JUST REMINDED ME I DIDN’T TORQUE DOWN MY BOLTS ON MY CAR AT ALL AND I’VE BEEN DRIVING LIKE AN ASS SINCE I REFRESHED MY CONTROL ARMS

What a good timing, I was doing my oil change and I noticed one of the boots on my axle is ripped and there is grease every where, I have no click it noises tho.

Would you guys have a camshaft position sensor pigtail/connector for 2015 charger sxt ?

Cv axle control the brake and emergency brake, when cv axle bad , you'll notice when braking hard , then makes that clucking or cracking noice , it most likely it's the cv axle

My 2001 Honda Accord right side was making all that noise. Of course I ignored it until the entire spindle came loose on a right turn. Needless to say, I'm uber sensitive to any and all sounds not normal now. Live and learn yeah? Beside, I do all my own work now and parts are ridiculously cheap for my car.

can it also be a cv axle problem if the clicking happens during deceleration?

This video mostly showed the components of the joint more than how to properly remove and reinstall it

Remember to have the car realigned when removing any suspension parts. Thanks for the video.

Will the truck shutter slightly while turning on take offs only? Doesn't do it when straight. Feels almost like torque converter slipping.

Please do a video on starters!! Specifically for Chevy Silverado 2500hd 6.0 gas engine I have a feeling the fork inside starter that pushes the gear in and out has broken and causing my gear to move loosely and smack into the bindex when I’m driving around creating a weird tink tink sound

could u clean the bearings and cage, regrease and put back? instead of replacing ?

Any ideas for trucks that are 2wd, but still hearing clicking at the front end when backing up and turning? I did all ball joints, and tie rod inners and outers, brakes, and swaybar links. I'm really scratching my head with this one.

how long does it take to repair, and how much should someone expect to pay?

If the boot is intact and there's no grease coming out but you have a small clicking noise but it only started after we did the front ball joints upper and lower and the rocker arm on a '99 Corolla what do you think that could be besides the CV axle I'm dumbfounded

Do you have to replace all cv joints or just the one that’s having issues ?

Do we need to replace that cv joint if popping sound occured or it can be done by greasing only?

The clicking is from the combination of it being a Chevy, being in a demolition derby based on the body, and the fact that corners were cut by wasting money rebuilding the half shaft. Rebuilding the half shaft leaves metal and dirt in the joints that prematurely wears the bearing down and fails all over again. Replace the half shaft with a new one. More efficient and lasts longer

I just replaced my driver’s side cv axle due to a clicking noise mainly on low speed right turns. I still hear the noise… what could the issue be? Bad axle? Wheel bearing? I also need new sway bar end links bc they are blown, could that be it too?

How’s the quality of these after market parts

I hear this noise but not only when turning even when I cruise in the straight line. I hear it constantly but I hear it after about 15 to 20 minutes of driving

What if you have a rwd and don’t have front axles and you hear the same noises and symptoms as a broken cv axle what would it be?

What about split boot for CVs???, thanks.

I have a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse LT all-wheel drive it makes a clunking noise when you take off and it quits making that noise once you get going. It shutters when your going up hills and taking off at a low speed. I got my transmission oil changed thinking it would help but still no help. Any suggestions

Hey can the cv axle make noise also when my truck is going slowly or coming to a stop?

Was that damage because of the accident in same side ? And is it dangerous to drive cars with this problem?

I just replaced passenger side cv axle, it is making a noise. Transmission goes through the gears just fine, no binding or hard shift, very smooth. Any ideas?

Can a bad cv axle start moving in and out causing torque steer ?

My bmw E46 have same noise back left side. Is it posable it have same problem ?
