  • Please Help Fester!!!!

    My front end started to bounce/vibrate at all speeds faster gets worse. I changed my CV axle twice in case the new one was bent too. I also isolated the bouncing to the drivers side, jacked the fron end off the ground and locke the passenger tire and watched the cv axle spin alone with the tire, without the tire and simply suspended with a string and bounce, bounce bounce! I removed the cv axle and watched the female threaded opening in the transmission rotate and it appeared to have an eliptical rotation. Of special note here is that I had to drop my transmission to remove the CV axle. I tried everything even a 10lb slide hammer, knocking the shaft from the other side...worried I did damage. By the way if your snap ring gets buggered in the case, you are f-bomed!!! terrible design even with the transmission removed, you will not get the ring out without grinding the axle off and pushing it thru to remove the gearing mechanisim to get to the pin. Please please any help out there would be great. Thanks

    I read somewhere that you'll screw yourself if you turn the trans while the cv is out. Not sure if that's valid. Just thought I'd share something I've read?

      Splined opening ??? The bearing is what holds the CV, then it holds the gear with
      the splined opening. It should have wiped out the seal if the CV moves much at
      all, did it??

              Pretty sure I replaced the wheel bearings about a year ago but it wobbles without the wheel, breaks, rotors...etc attached. How would I know if my diferentail was bad?
