LR3 Discovery Front CV shaft change how to guide

Рет қаралды 8,073

Жыл бұрын

Time to change out the front CV shafts on my 2005 Discovery 3. The reason for changeout was a vibration under load from the front LH side, which turned out to be the LH inner CV joint to be badly worn. I will strip that joint down in a latter video to inspect.
I've replaced the CV shafts with REPCO branded items - with a 20% off sale they ended up similar price to importing cheapies from the UK. The outer CV bell is huge in comparison to the originals so with any luck strength is not an issue. Only one way to find out. For your info, the Repco part numbers where A9496211 and A9496212

Thanks Shane, great video with some practical tips. I never thought to use repco CV’s so glad you did the comparison. I find right angle ‘heel’ type of pry bar the easiest way to release the c clips as you access along the length of the cv shaft.

@Shanes_Shed Жыл бұрын

Those right angle pry bars could work OK. I don't have one so just use what I have and generally make it work. I guess I'll be a bit of a guinea pig for these repco CV shafts

Great video Shane, Simplified perfectly. Can I ask if you experienced a knocking when braking from the drive shaft? I am fault finding my Range Rover sport and have changed sway bar rods, bushes , inner and outer tie rods rotors pads and torqued everything. But watching this I this is the next step

@Shanes_Shed 9 ай бұрын

Not really. When the inner CV joint was worn I was getting a driveline vibration under acceleration. Are you just getting a single knock when braking or is it a constant knocking?

Had the same issue and ended up changing the R/H drive shaft and bearing at 290k. Looks like it its the L/H sides turn soon. I went repco driveshafts and with the 25% off they arn't too badly priced and went with timken bearings.

@Shanes_Shed Жыл бұрын

Guess I done alright with 420,000km on mine then. I knew the outer CV's where getting close to end of life anyway since the last CV boot change I done - was just waiting for them to start clicking. Timken bearings are the way to go, done my fronts when I purchased this D3 and haven't needed to change them since

@@Shanes_Shed thats a bloody good run on the cvs then. Yeah hopefully I can get the 100k/5Years out of these and I'll be happy. Keep up these videos mate 👍

Hi Shane Could you please advise the repco part number for drivers side cv and axle Thanks

@Shanes_Shed Жыл бұрын

The part numbers I have are A9496211 and A9496212. I cant recall which one was for the drivers side however.

Does diff oil need topping up after ? None seemed to leak out

@Shanes_Shed Жыл бұрын

If nothing leaks out then your probably good. Obviously if your pulling a driveshaft because of a leaking seal then defiantly check the level. Doesn't take much effort to pull the fill plug to check the level

I've got a persistent clicking from the right rear it sounds like, I suppose I'll change out the axles see if that fixes it

@Shanes_Shed 2 ай бұрын

Does the clicking change if you alter the air suspension ride heights?

@mybrilliantlife9476 2 ай бұрын

I've converted to springs, it's a bit maddening, I can only think it's a bad bearing or cv

@Shanes_Shed 2 ай бұрын

Ah, did the clicking start after the conversion?

@mybrilliantlife9476 2 ай бұрын

I suppose it may have

@Shanes_Shed 2 ай бұрын

Sounds like a worn CV - normally get the clicking in the front when turning as the CV's generally wear in the normal straight ahead position. When turning the CV balls are running over the wear grooves and you get the clicking. Probably your experiencing the same thing in the rear due to a slightly different ride height from the suspension change.
