@@eduardocarrillo5975 I would hear a mechanical popping sound when turning (only occurred some times, but was consistent and noticeable) - the vehicle would also shake at interstate speeds.
@Gavin it was easy but when you go to do the repair, place the car in neutral, chock the wheels so they’re secure and then jack up the car until you can get it on jack stands. I placed my emergency break on and it made it difficult to remove the brake caliper. I also purchased some anti seize paste and smears it on the CV axle splines. Mainly where they insert into the transmission. You’ll also have transmission fluid that will leak out, so have some of that handy to refill the reservoir. It’s also difficult to access the filling hole, so you’ll want a funnel that has a plastic hose attachment (I found an affordable one at Autozone) In all, I spent about 6 hours and $300 to make the repair.
Ugh do i want to attempt this myself? I just want a different car im tired of driving a boat 😅thank you for the video. Its helpful. Where are you located?
I’m looking at parts now but the images I don’t see the ball rolling bearings attached to the bottom of it. Are they sold Separately? Or the image just does not show it
The cv axle wouldn't come out with pry bars but I made a makeshift slide hammer with a strap tied to the cv axle closest to the transmission and on the other end a cross bar, yanked it hard quite a few times and it popped out.
Is this a 1.6 L engine, I have a 2.0 turbo and when I look up the CV axle it shows with femal spines on trans side not like this one with male splines on trans side?
I have a 2008 Malibu. When I look for this part they all say they don't included the abs tone ring. It also says it can fit the driver or passenger side and to transfer inner stub from original axle. I really don't know which one to buy.
absolutely YES. He tipped the spindle by removing the adjustment bolts. If you tip it by removing the lower ball joint then you don't have the added expense of an alignment.
Great video. Do you know how to install manifold and throttle body spacers? I have a modified 2019 Chevy Cruze. Look for someone who knows how to work on Cruze. You can check out my car on my channel. Thx
