Are you having a hard time getting the circlips on the end of the CV axle to seat, or is it another problem. Join Date: Mar 2000. Driving with a bad cv axle. Does the CV axle REALLY need that clip on it??? Location: ChicagolandVehicle: 98 Impreza. After trying for a few more minutes, I tried to put the axle back in to see how hard that part was going to be. You've not compromised the safety of the axle either, you've just made the thing function right.
What Happens If Your Cv Axle Fails
What a ride this has been. Seems like it would be easier than this. EDIT: The part I purchased was from rockauto, driver's side CV Axle, (CARDONE 604232 (60-4232)). With the subframe removed I was certain I had enough room to cut the CV shaft on the passenger side and push it through the oil pan. A very subtle "brrrrr" and no more moving. The XC90 proved to be very popular, and very good for Volvo's sales numbers, since its introduction in model year 2003 (North America). Keep the CV as straight as possible, get a helper if needed.

I also tried putting the old cv axle back in the wheel assembly and it barely comes out the other end at all, even when it's all the way flush in the back. From my experience, if ring won't go in with three taps of a 3# hammer I take off the snap ring and test the fit without, then I'll swap the used ring on (because it's a known entity). Sometimes the shaft will get jerked around during installation, causing the joint to come apart inside the boot, where it's likely to go unnoticed until the car won't move a mile down the road. The differential has the oil grooves half way then the splines. 04-06-2019, 11:52 AM||# 12|. Cv axle wont ga in loan.

Oh, also, since I intend to replace the seals on either side of this thing (and the o-rings), I've heard a few people say you have to take the differential out first, but I'm trying not to.
Cv Axle Wont Go On Strike
I often pick up my rubber mallet and smack to get it to jump in. Looks can be a bit deceiving sometimes and you do not have to tear everything apart to seat the inner joints. Take the big bolt out where the lateral links attach to the upright (if you can). You just have to pop it back in after the splines line up. CV Axle won't seat all the way....what's the trick guys. Also, when I tried putting it into the "park" gear, it made a loud, continuous grinding sound, until I turned the car off. I was trying to pull it out completely so I could tie it up, but it wouldn't come out any further (the inner joint was compressed all the way, and the outer joint wouldn't budge.
It can be one side because you do not have a limited slip differential. I can fix anything usually, as long as I can get apart. Luckily all the sparks were directed at the exhaust and heat shields on the car. I tried a lot of different techniques, none of which made a dent. It's kind of egg shaped now. What I ended up doing was taking the circlip and sanding approx 1/3 of its thickness off, gently reinstalling it from the end of the shaft and taped the axle into place. If you can compress it flat lower than the deep part of the spline I think your job is done. Wife brought in some Chinese for a garage dining experience! Replaced CV Joints...won't go! - Maintenance/Repairs. Nothing seems to help. Passenger side went it without any problems and is ready to go. Trusty hydraulic press to the rescue! I also brought the parts i had ordered to ford who confirmed that i had the correct parts. Drivers side is giving me all kinds of problems.
Cv Axle Wont Ga In Loan
R50/R53:: Hatch Talk (2002-2006). Another more obscure cause could be something I've seen a couple of times. Happened to a friend of mine in a U-turn. Me thinks the backyard mechanics have missed something. I tried putting the rear axle back into the differential it slid in but still has a little gap I tried hitting the other end of the axle to hit it in but wont move anyone got any ideas on how it can be done.

It's so tight you can no longer just feel for the splines and slide it in like normal. That will help, thanks! From underneath I held the inner CV joint in while pushing the hub out, then letting it swing back in bottiming the CV joints to make a light tap.
Quote: __________________. It looks like the axle is right at the part where the inner C clip is in the rear diff. It seems like its slightly engaged, as rotating the opposite wheel will cause the axle to move slightly in the other direction. If not I will pull up VIDA and see if they have any comments if you need me to. The bolts holding the carrier ring were stupid tight, and holding the carrier still while torquing wasn't the easiest thing to do.
Driving With A Bad Cv Axle
At this... i had a hell of a time getting mine to "snap" in it turned out to circlips that came with the new axle were alot thicker than the original mpare them.. i ended up using my old clips on the new axle and "snapped" in just like it was supposed to. If not, I agree with VDCdriver that it sounds like a spline engagement problem; or lack of engagement rather. I suppose I'll try this…I'll check back with (hopefully) a successful report on how things go. It was also exactly where I thought it was, right next to the splines on the oil passageway. Hello, This is my first time posting on the CarTalk Community, so hopefully I'll get some good responses. It looks like there's a gap when I examine the backside but it hits metal to metal when I try to put it in. You can try to reinstall, but if it won't go all the way in, time to get a new or rebuilt half shaft. Since this isn't a friction surface I decided to de-burr it with a Dremel.
I'm sure once you deburr with a Dremel you can get the snap ring to behave. So now the million dollar question. I wouldn t reuse that clip, get a new one or return that axle & get another axle. The snap ring gives resistance and has to be compressed to go in so some effort has to be used. All OEM parts from Toyota.
