2013 Honda CR-V Right front CV Shaft replacement 

Have you had the transmission software fully updated? There is a TSB for that which sometimes causes vibration, but that’s supposed to be for slower speeds. My dealer checked the rear driveshaft and said the u-joints were binding a bit but that wasn’t our vibration. They told us it was the passenger CV shaft, but it ended up being the driver side CV shaft if I remember correctly. After replacing both front CV shafts our vibration was gone. We changed our rear shaft later as a precaution since the u-joints were binding. New struts should not be causing vibration. Sometimes very badly worn struts can because when the wind under the car takes a bit of pressure off the suspension the springs around the struts can get bouncy because the strut can’t control them anymore.

@@JoesCarSmartsNY We did not get the software updated. The cv boot was torn up, full of dirt, and would click. Now that its been replaced we get all the vibration. It's possible the replacement shaft is faulty. I believe they should be done in pairs so I'll have him do the left side first then drive it. If its still vibrating then he'll make good on the right side.

@dirtycommtroop I understand better now. Looks like you’re on the right track.

Thanks. The violent shaking was from the left front CV shaft. I have some minor shakes left and will probably swap out the rear driveshaft before looking closer at the motor mounts.

You probably have warped brake rotors if this only happens when you’re braking. Here’s a video for the fronts. They are more susceptible to warping: 2013 Honda CR-V Front Brake Pads and Rotors Tutorial ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S7hSjLbmh6M.html

Both boots must have grease. If a joint is dry it will self destruct. No alignment needed afterward.

@@JoesCarSmartsNY thank you so much for helping others... you have a nice day

Just want to verify, I have honda crv 2016 the drive axle upper rubber boot doesn't have grease inside upper rubber boot, because honda make it into 2 stages axle, but the lower rubber boot I forgot to ask auto mechanics hihihihi...

@@huskyng6981 This is what you need to know: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-auQ65qno2Eo.htmlsi=c843yIptbFpUIIPh

You have to twist it a little when inserting it, to line up the splines. Then it just slides it. There may be a bit of tension at one point. At that point just push it and it will “click” in.

Excellent.

It might be called the transfer case output shaft seal? Rockauto.com lists that. But to be certain it’s probably a good part to get from a dealer.

I even went to the dealer and they can't figure out the correct part number!

@@jordantoole6359 that’s unacceptable

Your telling me I can't close my garage door now because of this bs seal! Autozone has no clue advanced no clue honda noclue at Napa now they are trying but doesn't seem promising

@@jordantoole6359 Sometimes you can search parts from dealers online and they will show you a blow up diagram of all the parts. Maybe try that? Or try another dealer. I’m baffled the dealer can’t figure it out. I bet if they were doing the work for you they’d figure it out quick.
