New CV Axle Shaft from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AACS00326
A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications. This video shows you how to install one in your 2002-2009 Dodge Ram 1500.

Not a single part of this job took a couple loving bonks on my truck. It required big torches and lots of frustration

Since this side is “longer” because when you pull the CV axle out, it still has the intermediate shaft connected you therefore need a lot more clearance to get this one out than your passenger side which is far more simpler. So yeah, take the WHOLE damn thing apart and pull it straight out. Take intermediate shaft out install on new axle, slide new in and re assemble everything. This video is it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I took a torch to the old CV axle last weekend, held the inner shaft with a welding glove and gave the CV axle some "bonks" with a hand sledge, it broke free after the 4th or 5th whack.

except ball joints don't pop out with a bonk. I've had to hammer on them for hours or even cut them out. Other thanthat very good video. A "when ball joints won't release" segment would have made it more real world though.

I found the upper ball joint didn’t torque properly until I had proper weight since it was only around 40lbs 👍 Also I have a very very regretful 2” puck lift and had to use a jack and ratchet strap to get upper ball joint in 🤦🏽 I didn’t change cv yet because it’s on the opposite side, just change the upper ball joint

A mechanic told me some of these are weird and requires an update to the differential. Is that true? I'm really sick of being jerked around and robbed. He seems good but I wanted to ask the Internet at large. Any help is very very appreciated.
