My front left CV shaft is going bad, and i thought i had more time than i do. Its going bad realy fast. Could i possibly get an estimet on how much it would cost at a shop?

 

I would say anywhere from 200-400.

 

great.... I guess im ganna do it myself. Im not paying that much when the CV shaft is 100 bucks. Any sugestions from people who have done this before..

 

get a hanes book?

 

good start lol.. Ill also look through that 6,000 page service manuel on this forum lol

 

What where your symptoms to let you know that it was the CV joint?

I have a feeling my right front is going, it has not broke yet or what ever it does when its going bad.. This is my symptom, every now and again at pretty much the same slow speed it does this little shutter, like your going over tiny bumps one right the other.. If I let up on the gas or speed up it goes away and I figure I would push it till it broke because it not a constant thing as of yet.. Cya Slick

 

ive gone throuh both drivers and passenger side now and its been warrentied both time and been turnred around in half aday if this helps im sending it to the shop in the next week to have another one put in no.3 lol some one need to design a better cv for these daks first time the boot had sprung a leak crease every where and the second was a seal this time its the boot again. yep solidaxel is looking really good.

i did help a buddy replace the cv on his 92 pathfinder its kinda of a PITA between getting the hub apart to release the cv and resplining it im not sure of the daks im sure ill be doing my own soon

 

Well when i was putting my leveling kit in i dropped the cvshaft and it tore the boot. Well all the greas came out and i went through the hoile winter like. Well its finaly making a lot of noise when i turn the wheel or hit any bump. But the weird thing is that my upper controll arm is also making this noise... It sounds like they are al rusty and it doiesnt want to move so it creeks

 

Sounds like a ball joint. When my lower one went on my passanger side it drove me nuts, and now my drivers side is going.

 

Oh ill check that when i change my CV shaft
