Saw this video last week and what i learned from here saved me yesterday. Replacing the axle on my Audi i removed a ziptie holding on the inner joint too early and the balls started falling out when positioning the axle. Cleaned and greased the balls and put them back in saving me a headache.

Throw away society all in the name of greed (but disguised as efficiency and warranty security). Manufacturers = Financially Wins as it gets to sell you more than you need (whole assemblies) increasing profits Mechanics = Financially Wins by having a higher Profit margin on top of more expensive whole assemblies. Wins again as the fix is faster (ensures profit consistency per job). Customer = Financially Loses due to paying a lot more for buying whole assemblies. Environment = Loses due to more pollution manufacturing and more pollution as land fill

As a mechanic while I agree rebuilding is a good thing to know how to do, in certain situations like cvs it’s usually actually cheaper for the customer to replace the unit rather than getting it rebuilt so to the extra cost of labour spent rebuilding. If doing it yourself then definitely rebuilding is much cheaper

@lowrangeoffroad17 жыл бұрын
That is a good question. These parts are super hard. We took this joint apart several times with these tools and there was not sign of any damage at all. We have tried brass and found that brass flakes and chips off leaving little pieces of brass inside the joint and they are almost impossible to clean out. So we recommend using steel tools. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

If you search here at the auto part dealer you can only buy the whole axle. In some cases you can get the joints solo. But i don't know where to find balls, cages or other parts solo.

How do you know which side is broken, the one to the wheel or the one to the transmission? I replaced CV Axles on 2001 Saturn SL2 like 1 - 1.5 years ago, and now it started to give a slight clicking noise on sharp turns to the right (when you basically go on the circle in clockwise direction). When the car goes straight, no noise, so I think it is the left (DS) CV Axle. Maybe I moved it too much on installation, maybe just such aftermarket part (though it is Cordona, seems like no complaints about them). So, if I remove that CV Axle, can I find out somehow which side of it has a problem? Or it is better to take apart both ends? Thank you for the informative film.

@lowrangeoffroad17 жыл бұрын
Yes, as long as the joint (balls, cage, race and housing) do not show wear. One of the main indications that a CV joint is worn out is that it will make a clicking sound while accelerating in a turn. If this is observed the joint is worn out and should be replaced. If there is no noise in turns and the only thing that is bad is a torn boot, the joint definitely can be disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and re-lubed. It does take more time, but depending on the cost of a new drive axle (or joint), it can be worth the effort. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@lowrangeoffroad17 жыл бұрын
This means the constant velocity (CV) joint is bad. You could either replace the CV joint or replace the entire shaft. In either case you usually have to remove the entire shaft. You should price both. Sometimes the shaft is about the same price as the joint, in which case I'd go with the shaft. We have not made a video to show how to remove the replace the shaft, but I suspect someone has. Simply do a search on KZfaq and you will probably get a good one. If that does not work, you might check on websites like Auto Zone or Oreiley's for some good instructions. Good luck with it and thanks for watching and commenting.
