My cv axle is spitting grease all over but looking at it there is no tear in it it is just coming out of the end under the metal ring holding it on the hub. Any one have ne ideas I mean can I tighten it some how or do I need to replace the damn thing? And If I do how hard is it to replace? Oh yeah it is making a wierd noise at slow speeds kind of a clicking or poping.

 

if its been leaking out for a while chances are water got in as well. once you run out of grease, CVs are usually shot. you can get some cheap ones at a junkyard.

 

well if my cv axle was messed up i would take the expense of buying one that i knew was in good condition rather than buy one from a junkyard and do all of that work and hope it was useable

 

I would definately not buy one from a junk yard. You might as well do it right the first time.

 

i always get them from the junk yard, if they are sealed well there is absolutely no reason why you should worry. not to mention there is like a 60 dollar price difference and i can swap cvs in like 20 minutes now because I break so many...

 

until you see the $440 price tag from ford(EACH!!)

trust me, i just bought two new ones. one was $20 more, i forget which side.
that's the shafts and cv's

 

I bought mine from Napa for $50 new.. Well Reman...

 

Nice thats not bad how hard are the to change.

 

whyyyyyy?

advance auto.. lifetime warranty on the remans, i've redemed like 7 lol

 

for the shafts and cv?

i had to go from the live hub style shafts to the pvh style shafts

 

i have PVH, they were like 70 or 80 a piece, the whole assembled unit!

return what you got and go to advance haha
ford is the LAST place i would have gone

 

Yeah i thought that was insane money for cv's.

 

yeah thats crazy i just bought one from carquest last yr for like $50 and it came with a lifetime warranty. I just broke that same cv in two places this past friday and called carquest and told em and they gave me a new one no charge just had to take the old one
