Changing my Astra H front driveshaft. The inner CV joint has little wobbling in it, so i decided to change the whole shaft. In the video I used my brand new Parkside Impact Wrench.

Very common on that shaft, causes vibration especially through the steering wheel when going fast, all the diesel and petrol models that have that half shaft set up I've noticed do it. That's the best grease to put on the shaft. Makes your shaft end last longer in that half shaft end.

So, if you have a bad internal bearings whole axle needs to be changed or? I have a problem with vibrations around 20-30 km/h, and my friend and me checked axles yesterday. It turns out that both axle internal bearings are bad, so I will change that soon, but I was wondering if picking up a whole new axle is needed, or just internal part with three bearings inside. And yeah, car is Astra J GTC 1.7 cdti.

You can replace only the CV joint, not the whole axle. I was able to find cheap genuine axle and that's why I replaced it as whole.

@@icku Ah, I see. I'm glad to hear that since whole axle is like 300 euros, while bearing only is around 100, as far as I saw.

Did it solve the problem ? I have intermittent wobbling under acceleration and at higher speed and no one really knows why.

@icku 2 жыл бұрын

If it happens under accelaration most likely is the CV axle.

@@icku I had my wheels balanced multiple times,one mechanic told me it's the steering rack,another that it's the shock absorber another that it's the brake disk and it is getting annoying. Now the question is which axle ? Left or right ? How can I determine that. The whole car wobbles and trembles I do t feel it from left or right to know.

So you paid all that money for a refurbished driveshaft for a split cv boot. That cv boot is around €10 and a half hours work to take old of and refit 😂
