Last Friday I got my oil changed and they told me I need to get my CV joints fixed because the boots are cracked and the grease is coming out.
There is no clicking sound yet, I don't think. Is the clicking sound loud and unmistakable? if so, they are definately not clicking.
If CV joints don't make any noise, does that mean I probably only need the boots replaced and grease packed back in? I'm not sure how long the rubber has been cracked, but do you think the CV joints are still good?
I know I should get this fixed asap, but how long do you think I'm good for, a week?
If I wait longer, stuff is going to get to the joints and mess them up, right?Help!!! CV joints?depending on how much you drive..you've got time. the cv joints don't just fly apart all of a sudden. They can get pretty bad before failure(not saying that you should test out how long). Unless you plan a cross country tour of the US, you'll be fine for a few weeks, a month...maybe longer. I'd be guessing the oil change place also would be happy to put the cv joints in for you too, eh? I'm not saying that they did this, but I have heard of mechanics 'creating' extra work for themselves by 'inspecting' cv joints...i.e they accidently stick a screw driver through the boot while checking them over to see if they're cracked. If you're not sure, have some other shop quote you a repair to the joints as well...it's a good idea anyway, because it pays to shop around sometimes. And to answer the clicking question-yep, very unmistakable sound. Constant clicking that gets faster and slower as you drive faster and slower. And as they get really bad you'll feel a slight rhythmic jerk in the steering wheel when turning to one side or the other.Help!!! CV joints?Have some one else check them.
They might be needing income (if you know what I mean).
I have gone the split boot repair route, and I was not happy with how long the repair lasted.
The labor to replace just the boot will exceed the cost of labor to replace the axle and the damage to the mechanical parts may have already been done. Resulting in returning to the mechanic sooner the should have been needed.
So when I get a CV joint done, I just spring for a total replacement.
As for the clicking, you will hear it before they go out.
Start setting aside money right now to have the job done before winter.Help!!! CV joints?here a good way to check drive backwards and turn as sharp as you can both ways if they bad most of time they will pop more than likey its just the boot.... and sooner is always better but who know how long they been bad you know coulkd have been a long time and no one said any thing you know and yes a week or two is not going to hurt any moreHelp!!! CV joints?if if if its only the boot then its cheap and easy to do and will last a couple weeks with out noise but if its been ripped for awhile i give it a week but if you have around 40 to 60 bucks you can get 1 with a warranty and thats the whole cv shaft and its very easy to install without going to a shop i can help talk you through it its about the same time wise of work.Help!!! CV joints?it will be cheaper for you in the long run to put a rebuilt axle in it. most cars it takes a little more than an hour per side. the price of rebuilt axles is right around $70.00. a very reasonable repair that wont come back to haunt youHelp!!! CV joints?I would replace the entire axles even though they are not yet making noise......they will still have gotten some dirt and debris in them if the boots are already cracked and broken.....even the smallest amount of debris will wear the joints out......get second opinion first though as some shops will use the %26quot;cv boots%26quot; as an excuse to extort money from customers......Help!!! CV joints?If you are a technician, you can replace all 4 boots for less than fifty dollars. It's like getting a kidney transplant, if you can find a used on on craigs list, you could save tens of thousands of dollars doing it yourself. If the joints are not clicking (popping) as customers state, then yes you can replace the boots. Usually it's just the outers, so at a shop, lets say mine, boot costs me 12.00 costs you 39.95 times two and labor would be between an hour and an hour and a half depending on what kind of vehicle you have, so figure 99-149 in labor per side. As others have stated, you can get complete axle, one per side. At my shop, axles are 39-49 dollars my cost so customer cost is 129.95 and again, an hour labor to an hour and a half depending on labor cost in your area. If you are not clicking the boots will do you fine.Help!!! CV joints?How big are the %26quot;cracks%26quot;? Obviouisly the bigger the %26quot;holes', the quicker the grease is going to get out, -- and if big enough they will allow dirt and water in (depending on location along boot)also!
Get down under the car and check for yourself, -- if you see lots of grease that has been slinging out in area right above the axle boot (note that there are boots on both ends of each axle). The outer ones will sling grease out quicker (because of extreme flexing when turning)--so a very small hole in inner end will leave grease in for a long time, - but the outer end towards wheel will throw out faster from same size hole, - and allow stuf to get in also -- if it is big enough!
You don't want to wait too long, as when the axle %26quot;joint' parts run dry (all it is ,-is a universal joint tht runs in grease)-- it damages the parts, and there is no %26quot;repair%26quot; at that point!** And of course the %26quot;grit%26quot; from dirt and water %26quot;compound%26quot; really accelerates damage! Some drive axles had both ends removeagble for replacement, and some only have one end removeable!
You did not say what kind of car you have! Some cars have %26quot;quick boots%26quot; which can be installed without pulling the axle out! They are not the best you can do,-- but might save axles till you have time or money to get them taken out and done with%26quot;origional (seamless) boots%26quot;! Since the %26quot;quick boots%26quot; have a %26quot;flange%26quot; that is used to hold them shut after fitted overt the joint, - this is a place for stuff to get jammed in and tear boot up again! In southern states they work fairly well, - as long as you don't go %26quot;mudding%26quot; with the car!.. If you live where there is lots of snow %26amp; ice (and mud in spring),-The deciding factor here is how much clearance between boots and surrounding suspension and frame parts! They get torn off prety easily because of the way the stuff cakes up underneath, and sometimes even builds up around tires so you can't turn steering wheel! If you live there you know what I am talking about !

Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, & trans problems.
Hey, I'm having problems with my 1993 Nissan Altima GXE all the time and want a change. So for the past few weeks I've looked on Craigslist.com just to see what was on there. I came across this amazing 1994 Ford Probe GT for $500. I wondered why such a hot car (with two racing stripes) would be so cheap. The man explained that it has 131,000 miles, it needs new water pump, CV joints need to be replacedm it has a dent on driver's door, and the transmissions slips every once in awhile. He says the transmission needs to be %26quot;flushed%26quot; or something. I e-mailed him back saying that I will only buy it if I can take it to a mechanic first to see if the WHOLE transmission needs to be replaced which will definetely not be worth it. Does it sound to any of you that this is a good deal? And how long would a 94' Ford Probe GT last? Kelley Blue Book prices it at $1800 in FAIR condition. I was thinking of buying this and then selling my altima to break even. Any response is much appreciated!!! Thanks!Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.If you were to Buy the car in present condition it would cost more to fix the car than what it is worth. In reality you are going two pay twice the amount you are paying for the car to get it in working condition. Is it a Good Deal? Yes if you are a Mechanic and just have spare parts lying around! If not I would take a pass.Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.I wouldn't touch that car with a ten foot pole. phone around to some shops and get estimates for changing both front axles (it actually cheaper to replace the entire axle than to just replace the CV joints, go figure), then phone a transmission shop and ask their price to completely overhaul the transmission. You are thinking about buying this car, so look at worst case scenarios and don't try to sugar coat any of the problems with the shops. I would just about bet, that if you take the $5oo car, your repair bill is going to be around $3000, so now you have twice as much money into it as it is worth. Do what you want, but there are lots of cars out there for the money you want to spend.Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.Forget it, the transmission needs work and that cost big $. A flush will not fix it. It has a host of other problems....but what about the ones you dont know about that will become apparent after a week of ownership.
You say you need to replace your Maxima because it is having problems...and then you are coming to this message board to ask if buying a Ford laden with problems is a good idea. I can see no logic here.
Look for a car that is in good running condition. That is the only way forward.Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.That car is NOT worth it, Your looking at close to $700 for pump and CV installed, and THEN a tranny issue. I'm not 100% sure but want't the GT turbo? If it was 131k miles on a turbo, will need to be replaced soon. (turbo or not, I say no way) Your way better off w/ your Altima. (ANOTHER RED FLAG IS THE RACING STRIPES)Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.Is he paying you $500 to take it. That's the only way I see it could be a good deal. Sounds like a typical Ford to me.Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.Sounds like a mighty fine deal...if your the guy selling the Probe GT, even if it has two racing stripes.Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.this is a bad deal because it will cost about 800 dollars to fix the car but it is still a ford and they suck. but it can be a good deal because you could get it running good and sell it for about 2500. i know i just said fords suck but some people love them. And dont worry about the 131k miles on it if it gets fixed there are plently of people who would buy it and do an engine swap or something. just be sure not to be to stupid or you will get screwed over badIs this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.The mechanic will probably tell you that you need to replace the transmission but it all depends on how much it slips and at what gear it slips at. The slipping could be that the transmission fluid is low due to a bad seal, which if changed would fix the problem. This car is worth $500 all day long, (even if it didn't have the sweat stripes). The CV joints and water pump will not be $700 if you find the right mechanic. I say go for itIs this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.The 94 Probe GT can be a fun car to drive. The 2.5 Litre V6 is the same engine used in similar years Mazda MX-6's. This is a Mazda engine and drivetrain in this car, and the parts are really not that cheap compared to other vehicles.
If the CV joints need replaced, you can get the parts yourself for around 50 bucks each, then you need the boots and the tools and know how in order to change them yourself. A garage would likely charge a couple hundred dollars to change them, as the task is somewhat labor intensive.
The water pump, again, is not quite expensive when you buy it yourself however, having it installed is very expensive due to the amount of labor and time involved.
Automatic transmissions can be a hairy subject. Flushing the tranny and installing new fluid would definitely be a great idea, but if its been slipping, there is more than likely some wear. Replacing the transmission is an expensive chore as it is both labor intensive and the transmission itself is very expensive. Replacing the unit would likely run into the 1200 to 1500 dollar range. I would definitely try the flush and fill first and see if it helps.
You did mention that the car has 131k miles on it, so I would guess that there are also other things that could use replacing. What kind of maintenance has the car seen in the past? The timing belt has a limited lifetime, and if it breaks, your dead in the water. This is a cheap belt, but expensive to have changed at a shop. Oxygen sensors and spark plug wires are expensive for this car, when compared to most.
Although 500 dollars doesnt sound like a lot of money for a car, I would definitely have the car thoroughly inspected by a mechanic before purchasing it. It could easily cost you 5 times as much just to get it reliable again. Look into it, but my personal experience would tell me to keep looking.Is this a good deal for a used car? (1994 Ford Probe GT) It needs new water pump, CV joints, %26amp; trans problems.I am a dealer. If it will run and honk the horn, it is worth $500. Make sure it will pass inspection in your state. Good luck - Gary

My car is making a clicking/popping sound, what is wrong with it?
It's on the left side and it makes the sound mainly when I take turns, especially when I turn the wheel all the way. We have checked both calipers and both cv joints. We actually changed the one on the drivers side before I found out how to check to see if they were bad. It is a '97 Dodge Avenger, and I haven't had it for that long. Breaks are perfect and so are the calipers. As far as I can tell the cv joints are fine too. I was told that if I try and move the cv joint and it moves then it's bad, but if it doesn't then it is fine. and it doesn't move at all.My car is making a clicking/popping sound, what is wrong with it?its a dodge...thats whats wrong...lol i would have said check the sv joint but you said u did so i dont knowMy car is making a clicking/popping sound, what is wrong with it?sadsdMy car is making a clicking/popping sound, what is wrong with it?replace the cv joints.

How should I spend my tax check- 3 options?
I need to finish my dental work I need another root canal and I need a permanant cap put on the side I already had done, the other side I didn't even start yet it's a missing tooth and it's in the back so it's not really visable it just bothers me because I know I'm missing a tooth. It's around $1000 and would take my whole tax check.
My car is literally falling apart needs a tune up oil change shocks and a new cv joint and axel. Again would take my whole tax check
I owe capital one 1000. Same thing whole tax check

How do i change the differential in my 1990 Corolla?
1990 Corolla.
Was drained when I filled it up with 80W90 gear oil.
Auto transmission.
US calif. Model. 4AFE engine.
I think something gave way inside(probably a tooth on one of the gears). It starts rolling, I hear a loud crack, and the left wheel shakes.
It started doing it when it turned only, now it does it going straight too.
CV joints are new and OK.
Tie rods Ok(new)
Steering perfect.
Brakes perfect( new caliper) New pads.
Auto transmission: new filter and fluid. Seems to work smooth( Then again, I have never seen what a broken down auto transmission feels like; anyone knows the symptoms of a faulty transission?)
My diagnosis is that my problem is the differantial, but i do not even know if i can just replace the differential alone(it is front wheel drive) or if it is part of the auto transmission.
ps. I have both Chiltons AND Haynes repair manuals, but neither talk .... about the differential. They go off track talking about the all wheel drive wagon transfer case.How do i change the differential in my 1990 Corolla?I'm a little skeptical, %26quot;a loud crack%26quot; doesn't quite do it for me. I would inspect the suspension and CV joints again.
However, the car is a front wheel drive so the differential should allow slippage as the wheels turn. Fast repetitive slippage and seizing could possibly cause the wheel to shake. 80W90 does sound a little light, I would have guessed 85 or even 90 weight oil do to the direct connection to the transmission. The differential should be bolted on to the bellhousing, so you should be able to remove it without the transmission but I wouldn't know for sure without looking at it. I suggest removing the differential cover and checking the gear teeth for wear or any metal loose pieces of metal (there should be a magnet at the bottom that collects these). A bad transmission wouldn't cause the symptoms your describing. Normally when an automatic transmission fails it tends to burn fluid, slip, shift really rough, sick in one gear, not go forward or not go into reverse, hell I've even seen cause the engine to die out. You might be able to find one in the junkyard.
Anyway, good luck with that, I hope you figure it out and get it resolved. I'm curious to know what it is.

Tie rods Ok(new)
Steering perfect.
Brakes perfect( new caliper) New pads.
Auto transmission: new filter and fluid. Seems to work smooth( Then again, I have never seen what a broken down auto transmission feels like; anyone knows the symptoms of a faulty transission?)
My diagnosis is that my problem is the differantial, but i do not even know if i can just replace the differential alone(it is front wheel drive) or if it is part of the auto transmission.
ps. I have both Chiltons AND Haynes repair manuals, but neither talk .... about the differential. They go off track talking about the all wheel drive wagon transfer case.How do i change the differential in my 1990 Corolla?I'm a little skeptical, %26quot;a loud crack%26quot; doesn't quite do it for me. I would inspect the suspension and CV joints again.
However, the car is a front wheel drive so the differential should allow slippage as the wheels turn. Fast repetitive slippage and seizing could possibly cause the wheel to shake. 80W90 does sound a little light, I would have guessed 85 or even 90 weight oil do to the direct connection to the transmission. The differential should be bolted on to the bellhousing, so you should be able to remove it without the transmission but I wouldn't know for sure without looking at it. I suggest removing the differential cover and checking the gear teeth for wear or any metal loose pieces of metal (there should be a magnet at the bottom that collects these). A bad transmission wouldn't cause the symptoms your describing. Normally when an automatic transmission fails it tends to burn fluid, slip, shift really rough, sick in one gear, not go forward or not go into reverse, hell I've even seen cause the engine to die out. You might be able to find one in the junkyard.
Anyway, good luck with that, I hope you figure it out and get it resolved. I'm curious to know what it is.
Replace CV Joint Axle for 1996 Toyota Camry - Advice Needed?
An oil change at the Toyota dealership for my 1996 Camry (with 160k miles) resulted in a recommendation to replace both CV joints because they had split (I assume that the boots have split). The dealership is quoting $350 per axle to do this work. A local mechanic is asking for $150 per axle.
My questions are:
1. How serious is this condition? I hear that a clicking sound is an indication of this being a serious issue but I don't hear anything when driving my car.
2. There's a huge cost differential between the dealership and the local mechanic. Any advice for me on which I should choose?Replace CV Joint Axle for 1996 Toyota Camry - Advice Needed?First of all 350 per axle is way too much. On the other hand 150 per axle seems way cheap. Is your local %26quot;mechanic%26quot; giving you at least a one year warranty parts and labor? If he is, then jump on that. Is your local mechanics shop a reputable repair facility? Also fyi, usually it's just the outer boots that tear, so if you dont hear any clicking noises when turning you can just replace the boots. The boots cost about ten dollars each and I would guess the labor would be an hour a side to install them. The whole key to cv shafts is to catch the boot when it first tears, that way you can replace the boot before all the grease is lost and damage is done to the joints.Replace CV Joint Axle for 1996 Toyota Camry - Advice Needed?if you gotta have original everything, than go with the dealership.
If you go with the local mechanic, at least show up with toyota transmission fluid, because it's going to leak out when they pull the drive shafts.Replace CV Joint Axle for 1996 Toyota Camry - Advice Needed?if the boots are busted ,replace them. there are replacement boots you can put on without having to pull the axles. check with your local parts store. they are fairly easy to put on. just follow the instructions.

I think the CV joint on my driver's side is going bad (looks a little wet), how long can i Drive on it?
I looked at my CV joints and the one on the driver's side has some kind of oil on it. How long can I drive with it being like that until itll need to be replaced? And how much will it cost me when i do have to have it done? Would i just need it replaced on that one side? I dont have a lot of money.
Also, i have some oil leaking from around the oil pan. Its not a lot just a few drips here and there. What could be the cause of that? Should i take it back to the last place that changed my oil and have them fix it? The oil was changed about a week and a half ago. Can i keep driving it with this leak until my next oil change since the leak is so small?
The car is a 2000 Civic Si.I think the CV joint on my driver's side is going bad (looks a little wet), how long can i Drive on it?1 if the CV joint isnt clicking/clacking it will/could last for years and 20/40K miles cost is 200 per side.. if it has 125,000 mi or more do both sides while its at shop
Oli pan...a simple oil change will not cause lots of leak//unless guy poured 1/2 qt down the side or overfilled [did u chek level] wip it clean and see what it really is doing before asking a mechanic..[they aim to please and will be happy to put a new 500 dollar oil pan gasget %26quot;just to be safe%26quot; could b valve cover gasget..I think the CV joint on my driver's side is going bad (looks a little wet), how long can i Drive on it?If the CV joint is going bad, it will start to make noise when you turn. You can drive it until it breaks or until you can't stand the noise.

How do I get the nut that holds the rotor on to come off?
We have tried everything even broke a craftsman socket! We tried using a pipe and I need a suggestion please! It is on the drivers front side on a 1992 Honda accord. We are trying to change the halfshaft as the cv joint was bad. Thank you.How do I get the nut that holds the rotor on to come off?take the cotter pin out first then use the socket!!!!!!!!!How do I get the nut that holds the rotor on to come off?Shops have a special tool to remove the rotors

I am writing this because I have an issue with my car, and so far everyone I ask gives a different answer?
It's really 3 issues.
1. The car makes a grinding noise, like a pencil in a pencil sharpener or a card in spokes when I go above 40mph. The only thing is it's not consistant. If you think of the accelerater peddle like a scale of 0%-100%, then after 40mph it makes the noise between 0%-10% then runs smoth from 10%-20%, then grinds at 20%-30%, then after that it makes no noise no matter how far I push the accelerater down. It only does it above 40mph, and almost litterally the grinding shuts off when it drops below 40mph. The sound appears to be comming from the engine and I can feel a vibration the foot pedal.
2. The car makes a rattling noise occassionally, when initially accelerating, like metal smacking but in a rattling manor. If I allow the car to idle in park and rev the engine to approx. 3000/rpms then in makes the noise continuesly (but only in park or nutral) Also on occasions I hear the noise when turning the wheel at slow speeds. I've looked under the hood, and it seems like the noise is either comming from behind the engine, or under it. I do not hear the noise when
I am driving unless, it is related to issue one, but they seem like seperate noises.
3. The last thing, I believe I may know, but just to be sure. The vehicle seems like it is struggling to stay alive when idle or stopped at at light/sign. It's worse in park or nutral, but not as bad in drive. It also tends to shake (the whole car) when I am stopped, unless I put it in park or nutral at a light/sign. (This I have no clue)- Beyond that the accelerator seems to stick when initially engaging then surges forward like it recieved alot of power, and this happens not matter if I ease my foot onto the pedal or not. Also when I make a stop it does fine all the way till I am almost compltly stopped, then it almost seems like the tires lock, but it jerks foward everytime (only at complete stops, not slowing down).
Some vehicle info-
1991 Ford Excort 1.9L wagon.
65k Odometer (but turns over at 100k so could be 165k)
So far we've changed the oil, flushed the radiator, changed the air filter, and changed the fuel pump. We tried changing the CV joints, only to pull them off and find them in new condition. Also, not pertinent, we have rotated the tires.
Not sure what it is, I have heard a ton of suggestions, none being consistent. I also took it to AutoZone for a free diagnostic, and he said it read fine. I am not eager to jump to a mechanic, just to pay a ton only to figure out the problem. I don't mind going to one, but would like to know the problem first, so I know what to expect. Also, if it's a few small things it would be great to just take care of them myself. ThanksI am writing this because I have an issue with my car, and so far everyone I ask gives a different answer?You said if you %26quot;allow the car to idle in park and rev the engine to approximately 3000 rpms then it makes the noise continuously.%26quot; That is a very revealing clue which isolates the grinding noise to a part which is moving while the car is stationary and not in motion. The first things I would suspect are the a/c clutch bearing, the alternator bearing, or the transaxle/transmission main shaft (aka input shaft) bearing. But since you also said that you %26quot;can feel a vibration [in] the foot pedal%26quot; and that %26quot;the noise is either coming from behind the engine or under it,%26quot; I wouldn't bet a ham sandwich that the grinding/rattling noise is coming from the a/c clutch bearing or the alternator bearing. That makes the transaxle/transmission main shaft bearing my #1 suspect. But regardless of where the grinding noise is coming from, if the noise is continuous at 3000 rpm while in Park as you say, then it would be a simple matter to trace and identify using a mechanics stethoscope or a listening rod.I am writing this because I have an issue with my car, and so far everyone I ask gives a different answer?extremely good description of the problem. i tend to think u have a clogged exaust system/ catalitic converter.I am writing this because I have an issue with my car, and so far everyone I ask gives a different answer?Alot of mechanics will give you a free estimate and check out your car for free. make some calls and find out who can do this for you.I am writing this because I have an issue with my car, and so far everyone I ask gives a different answer?Problem 1 is definitely a wheel bearing.
Problem 2 sounds like an exhaust rattle, could even be the converter broke apart and pieces are in there, or even some of that heat insulator they put on at the factory is coming loose.
Problem 3 could be a few things, a tune up may fix it, maybe try some fuel injector cleaner too, thats where I would start.I am writing this because I have an issue with my car, and so far everyone I ask gives a different answer?I would think that the wheeI bearings would have been checked when the cv joints were replaced.
I think you need to inspect the motor/transmission mounts. If they are worn the engine/transaxle assembly will shift and make for weird noises and amplify small vibrations into loud ugly ones. It also allows the assembly to shift under cornering.
The surging problem sounds like a vacuum leak.I am writing this because I have an issue with my car, and so far everyone I ask gives a different answer?1. idk

How to take out an axle on a dogde intrepid?
I have a 1997 dodge intepid that i want to change the passenger side cv joint. I can not get it out. I have pulled on it quite hard but no luck. What should I do.How to take out an axle on a dogde intrepid?once you get it clear all you have to do is give it one real hard jerk and it will come out,dave told you right on this one,its real easy to get those out,good luck.How to take out an axle on a dogde intrepid?I assume you are trying to release it from the trans. You cant do that by pulling on it. You need to get behind the inner joint with a descent sized pry-bar between the joint and the trans itself. Don't try slow steady pressure. It takes a hard sudden SNAP with the pry-bar to pop it loose. There is a circlip at the end of the inner joint shaft holding it into the trans.
Best of Luck!

CV joints on a Daihatsu Charade?
Any advice appreciated on how to change these joints. Do I need special tools or will the ordinary ones do? They are making a lot of noise turning corners and need to be replaced. ThanksCV joints on a Daihatsu Charade?As much as I like to see people do their own maintenance, this particular job requires a professional and some specialty tools.CV joints on a Daihatsu Charade?Not sure what tools you'll need for your car. Have you got a haynes manual?CV joints on a Daihatsu Charade?WOW!! you have one of those??????
i have literally only seen 2 of those in my entire life.. i remember specifically making fun of it because it was called charade....
%26quot;maybe it's a car.... maybe it's a rollerskate with a motor%26quot;
sorry... i digress.
So i assume you actually FOUND parts for it? if you need a special tool, it's pretty unlikely you'll find it..
i'm sorry i can't provide legitimate help, i was just so surprised to see that you had a charade.. i wish you luck though :)

HOw much would it cost to fix CV joint and struts?
HI I have a 91 Cavalier Z24 and need to get a new CV joint on right side and new struts....just wondering about how much that would cost. I do live in Canada so I dont know if that will change the price at all.HOw much would it cost to fix CV joint and struts?CV joint would roughly be about 150 to 215, all depends on brand they use, but they just replace the whole thing.
Struts would roughly be about 45 to 60 per corner. Again all depends on quality and type they use.
They will probably do a wheel alignment also an inspection.
So let's say, 50 per corner, and 175 for CV, so 375 for parts, if no other parts are needed.
It would take about 20 min to 40 min per conrder for the struts, and about 45 min to 1.5 hr for the CV Joint, all depends if any complications happen, bolts snaps, blah blah.
I dont know what the average going rate is per shop, but I've seen them range from 65 to 125 per hour.
So let's say they are 85 per hour, so 160 for the struts for the labour, and another hour for the strut, so you are looking at 245 for labour.
Parts 375 + Labour 245 = 620.00 + applicable taxes and waste charges.
Remember this is just estimates I am pulling out of the air and so I dont know where in Canada, and how much different mechanics costs.HOw much would it cost to fix CV joint and struts?Here in Detroit that would run you $400.00 to $600.00 depending on whether any additional parts like strut mounts or CV boots need to be replaced as well.HOw much would it cost to fix CV joint and struts?$550 total, but I'm not sure that includes a wheel realignment if needed which is sixty dollars more. Make sure to have the upper strut isolator bearings replaced at the same time.

Has anyone changed the cv joints on a car before? If so I'd like to know how difficult it was.?
i have replaced a lot of cv axles never just the joint. if you replace the whole axle it is pretty easyHas anyone changed the cv joints on a car before? If so I'd like to know how difficult it was.?Its much easier and cost effective to replace the whole axle then to replace just the cv joints. Either way you would have to pull the axle completely out.Has anyone changed the cv joints on a car before? If so I'd like to know how difficult it was.?Used to change them all the time. but now it's cheaper to buy a rebuilt shaft for around 50 dollars. Either way it's about an hour and a half laborHas anyone changed the cv joints on a car before? If so I'd like to know how difficult it was.?I would not take a run at it if you are a novice.

How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?
I have the axel off. I just can't get the cv joint off. It the front axelHow do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?See if there is a 'Quik-Boot' kit available for your villager. This is a 2 part boot with clamps. All you would have to do is cut the old clamps, cut the old boot off, put the 'Quik-Boot' on around the joint, add CV grease provided, clamp it in place and viola, done.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?the only thing holding the boot on is a clamp.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?just replace the old cv axle with a reman cv axle....it comes preassembled full of grease 2 new boots and a warranty ..what more do you wantHow do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?There is a nut that attaches the CV joint to the transaxle. You need an inner CV joint removal tool to take it off. You can rent them at Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?Have you looked at the replacement boot? You should not have to take the CV joint off of the axle. The old boot however normally must be cut off. The new one will have an open side on it to wrap it around the axle, and a way to seal it after it's around the axle. There is no need to remove the axle from the vehicle.
As for removal, there are 2 common types of cv joints.
1 requires heating the outer portion of the joint till the bearings come out. Doing this wrong can ruin the half shaft. I don't suggest trying.
The other has retaining clips which may be hidden by old grease. Clean the shaft well, then examine it. You should replace the grease anyway.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?It has to be pressed off and the new one pressed back on, that is the only way. Any other way will destroy the parts.How do I take the cv joint off the axel to change the axel boot in a 93 mercury villager?IT WILL EITHER HAVE A SMALL CLIP OR NOTHING HOLDING IT ON.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST ALIGN THE JOINT WITH THE AXLE AND TAP IT OFF WITH A BRASS HAMMER, ITS THAT SIMPLE.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE IT PRESSED ON AND OFF.
BUT I DO AGREE WITH GETTING A COMPLETE AXLE ASSEMBLY, BALANCED SHAFT, 2 JOINTS, 2 BOOTS, 4 CLAMPS AND A NEW NUT....$69.95 TO 99.95

I've come to terms that I need a head gasket... So how much is the damage??? :(?
I poste about 2 hours ago about my 92' Jeep Cherokee Laredo and how it has oil in the coolant. After the 6 great answers I got, I've come to terms that it's probably a head gasket. Along with the head gasket, I'll need to flush out the oil out of the coolant too. I'm trying to find out how much is too much as opposed to how much cause I know its probably different everywhere. I would just sell it as is and get a dependable sedan, but it just can't happen. I need a few other things done (oil change, cv joints, etc.) but I want to get the important **** done. It's a straight 6 engine, so i believe it's only got 1 gasket.I've come to terms that I need a head gasket... So how much is the damage??? :(?There is a reason the gasket failed, and it should be fixed also. Plan on getting the head milled to correct the warp. Might as well just give it a valve job.
You might just want to get a complete engine from a salvage yard. Get them to check the compression first. This would prove faster and maybe give you fewer surprises. You might find lower prices then those at this site:

So how much is the damage??? :(?u r looking at about1,200 to 1,500 dollarsI've come to terms that I need a head gasket... So how much is the damage??? :(?The straight (inline) six cylinder from that model is pretty straightforward. Not a great deal of stuff to remove to get to that cylinder head. If you have not suffered engine damage due to the coolant in the oil, I'd think $300 might cover that job.I've come to terms that I need a head gasket... So how much is the damage??? :(?If you are fixing only the head gasket...and provided the head is in good shape...you are probably looking at between $300 and $600 depending on the garage you take it to. they all charge different labor rates so that will be the factor you are looking at.I've come to terms that I need a head gasket... So how much is the damage??? :(?you might have someone qualified to check if the head or block/cylinders/etc. are not cracked first-you might be wasting money altogether for a non -repairable motor

How long does it take to change a front drivers side cv-joint on a 1998 ford explorer?
well if you only have a jack and jack stands you can still do it in under a hour. i don't have a lift just a jack and stands, I just did a front cv axle for someone in 40 minutes.How long does it take to change a front drivers side cv-joint on a 1998 ford explorer?depends entirely on how skilled the worker is and what level of tools they have access to. Me with air tools and my toolbox 45 min about on a lift.
amature: as much as half a day if they have very few tools or cheap tool quality.How long does it take to change a front drivers side cv-joint on a 1998 ford explorer?If you have a good manual, and reasonable mechanical ability, maybe 2 hours. Pull the tire, pull the brake caliper, pull the rotor, pull out the shaft. Just make sure that when u put in the new shaft it's fully seated, some light taps may be needed. If so, make sure you put a piece of wood on the end of it before you start tapping on it as you will damage the splines..

How long should it take for a shop to change the clutch on my 91 Ford Probe GL?
Im tryin not to get ripped off on shop hours, Also I need to change the cv joints. Thanks for any helpHow long should it take for a shop to change the clutch on my 91 Ford Probe GL?They have to pull the engine, so it's going to run close to $1,000 :(How long should it take for a shop to change the clutch on my 91 Ford Probe GL?Ford Probe *cringe*.... Unless it is like brand new with 25,000 miles on it or less just get a new car.....How long should it take for a shop to change the clutch on my 91 Ford Probe GL?Really you know what, you are going to get ripped off if you go to a shop anyway so I don't know if you are going to want to take it to get fixed. I mean if you have someone that you know and is good with cars all you have to do is followed, Well really it's all about how long it will take you. I know that we had to do that in ours and most of the work is lifting the engine up. If you lift the engine out it should take a few hours depending if you know what you are doing. For a shop to do that it will be like more money than the car is worth. I know how much fun these are to drive. So basically don't take it to a mechanic. I know because I am one and I was sick of getting kicked in the A** When I took my cars to the shop, so have good luckHow long should it take for a shop to change the clutch on my 91 Ford Probe GL?Depends on how busy the shop is, but typically a day or two.How long should it take for a shop to change the clutch on my 91 Ford Probe GL?I had a 74 ford with bad motor mounts and i only got charged $450. for a new clutch and motor mounts, so i'm not sure how much your cv joints are going to cost. if your smart you'll find a well certified auto shop and just get a quote. i'd estimate right around $500-$1000. but i'm not a pro on some of the 90's cars. but trust me when they pull the motor they pull it right up to the radiator and this can take a while. it took my friends shop 2 hours.How long should it take for a shop to change the clutch on my 91 Ford Probe GL?When it comes to hours and prices, a reputable shop will charge by what is known as %26quot;flat rate%26quot; hour. This is determined by a book that is available to repair shops and gives an estimate of how long it should take to replace parts. This will not be available to you or any other customer to look at, so don't bother asking. The bottom line is that you need to shop around and get an estimate. You should dismiss both the lowest and highest priced places. The highest will most likely be the dealership and the lowest will probably be a shop that has never done one before and has no clue as to the trouble a Probe is. So that leaves the others. That will give you an estimate of what it will cost. Do you have a sentimental attatchment to the car? If so, then you will probably want to get the car fixed. If not, then seriously consider shopping around for another car and see what kind of trade in you can get for yours. The trade in value won't be much, but will be better than putting money into what you have and not getting that much more for it on trade. The time it takes for the actual job and the time it takes for the shop to get your car finished is actually 2 different things. If the shop had ALL the possible parts that is needed to complete the job waiting there when you get your car there then the time would be a lot quicker than the actual time that it takes. The actual time involves tearing down your car, seeing what is needed (parts), then ordering the parts and waiting on the parts people to deliver them. That can in some cases almost double the time that it would take for the actual repair. Most shops are not out to rip anyone off. The prices that are charged are to cover overhead, and to try to make a fair and honest living for their families. Then there is the government regulations from the DNR and EPA just to name a couple. So once again, bottom line, shop around and get prices then compare that cost to the cost of replacing the car. Then let your pocketbook be your guide.
VW passat 1999 how hard would it e to change my cv joints on this car as well as the brakes.?
i dont have mush mechanical experience, but very novice. should i do it? how much would a shop charge? for driver and passenger outer cv joints?VW passat 1999 how hard would it e to change my cv joints on this car as well as the brakes.?I guess it depends on a couple of things. Do you really %26quot;want%26quot; to do the work yourself? Do you have the time, energy, and workspace? Do you have a good, sturdy jack, and jack stands?
CV joint and Brake repair is straightforward, however, if you've never completed a task like this, it will take you some time to figure things out. There are torque specifications involved. You may need to purchase a tool or two. Specifically, a special bit to loosen the CV joint bolts. If you really, really, really want to do it yourself, take the time to crawl under the car and look around at A) what you want to replace and B) what needs to be taken off to get to what you want to replace.
Working on your own car can be rewarding, however, if you don't have the time or energy to complete the task, perhaps it's best to pay a trusted mechanic. Not Midas or Meineke or even the dealer. Those places will screw almost every time.VW passat 1999 how hard would it e to change my cv joints on this car as well as the brakes.?You need special tools to change CV joints, that isn't usually a do it yourself job, if it's just brake pads you need to change, then you can do that at homeVW passat 1999 how hard would it e to change my cv joints on this car as well as the brakes.?u cant do it...shop gets 300 to 400 for both sides...[ cv joints ]VW passat 1999 how hard would it e to change my cv joints on this car as well as the brakes.?Best get half shaft axles, need to do it in a shop.

CV are some time exchange parts, which make them cheap to by. Get a Haynes type manual.VW passat 1999 how hard would it e to change my cv joints on this car as well as the brakes.?no, its not something you can easily do at home, brakes are easy and you can do them, cv joints require much more work. and the previous poster was correct, its actually cheaper to get the axle shafts with the cv joints then it is for just the cv joints (and it will save you time).
on a passat, the cv joint replacement will cost you well over $1000. I believe the parts are $400 a peice, plus labor. consumerguideauto.com says $1375@$50 an hour labor.
If it was me, and i had the room, id do it at home... its hard to tell you whether you should do it yourself or take it in. if you want to learn, and dont mind not having a car for a few days, then do it at home... youre not going to be able to do it as fast as a mechanic, but if you do them yourself, you know they are done right... its a fine line for anyone.. do i learn to do them myself, saving me thousands of dollars later in my life... or take them in and hope the mechanic is competent enough to handle this job?
if you decide just to replace the joints, go to autozone and they will rent you the cv joint tools.. obviously youre going to need jack stands and a floor jack if you dont have them.VW passat 1999 how hard would it e to change my cv joints on this car as well as the brakes.?Poor choice for DIY, need 3/4 inch tools and very long breaker bar(4-6 foot long!) and a good feel for torque above 250 Ft lbs.

Why do you need to change CV's/Axles??????????????
Brakes- you can damage ABS components costing 1,000's of dollars by doing your brakes wrong so you may want to pass on that. ABS requires special procedures these days when it comes to compressing the calipers and a working knowledge of your rotors is pretty much necessary or you may achieve an unsatisfacory result(pulsating pedal etc.)
I would recommend you get professional assistance.

How do i change a drivers side CV joint in a 2001 Ford ZX2?
Trying to pull out of transfer case.How do i change a drivers side CV joint in a 2001 Ford ZX2?Typically a pry bar or tire iron can be used to pry the CV shaft loose from the transfer case. As mentioned, previously, there is a lock ring to prevent it from coming out easily, but a swift jerk with a pry bar will allow you to get the shaft out.

You will need a 34mm.or a 36mm socket to remove the axle nut.

It will require breaking loose the axle nut which will be very tight and probably frozen. A shop might break it loose for you but if not you will want something like a 1” drive air hammer. The old 4’ breaker bar would do it too but be sure to break it loose before jacking up the car because even a properly supported vehicle can fall off the jack stands with that kind of torque. If you haven’t done work like this I would take it to a shop. If you want to think about it, look at the procedure in a manual, and then decide. I am about to perform this job on my Honda.

It will require breaking loose the axle nut which will be very tight and probably frozen. A shop might break it loose for you but if not you will want something like a 1” drive air hammer. The old 4’ breaker bar would do it too but be sure to break it loose before jacking up the car because even a properly supported vehicle can fall off the jack stands with that kind of torque. If you haven’t done work like this I would take it to a shop. If you want to think about it, look at the procedure in a manual, and then decide. I am about to perform this job on my Honda.
How to change the CV Joints on a Honda Accord?
If anyone knows how or has a link for a tutorial that would be nice. It is a 1998 Honda Accord 2.3L. Thanks!!How to change the CV Joints on a Honda Accord?I usually change the entire half shaft. Remove the tire, remove the center nut, disconnect lower ball joint, disconnect tie rod end, lift strut assembly outward to remove outer CV joint, carefully pry inner CV joint. If I remember right, sometimes the upside down U shape bracket needs to be removed also.
Special tools needed: long prybar, 30mm or 32mm 1/2%26quot; drive socket, big hammer (or pickle fork).

In many cases it is better to replace the entire Hyundai axle shaft assembly, instead of just replacing a bad cv joint. Axle assemblies are used primarily in front wheel drive cars, but they are also used on 4 wheel drive cars and trucks, and are used on most high end German rear wheel drive cars. The Hyundai axle is used to seamlessly transmit the torque form the transmission to the wheels. The axle shafts typically have a cv joint at both ends of the axle, but there are cases where the axle will have a cv joint at one end and a u-joint at the other end. Dont pay huge service fees to have your Hyundai cv joints replaced, when you can save hundreds of dollars replacing the entire Hyundai axle shaft, and in most cases you can even change the axle your self with some basic tools. Our axle shafts have brand new cv joints and come with a great warranty. At Drivewire you get the highest quality Hyundai Axle Assembly at discount pricing with free ground shipping. Drivewire carries all the major manufacturers of Hyundai axle assembly including; Genuine, empi, and acei axles and can save you up to 80% the cost of having the joints serviced.Is it hard to change cv joints on a hyundai sonata v6 1996?Easy.

How much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?
I bought a honda civic coupe recently .
yesterday i was driving my mom back from work , and as i was parking , i turned my wheels and i could hear a screeching or shreiking sound coming from the Right Front Wheels .
i did some research on Yahoo answers and it seems that
this could have been a defective wheel bearing or a cv joint .
i called the service center and the manager told me it could be the mud thing making that sound , and he adviced me to check tire pressure . So i did and seemed the air pressure was low on the Right front wheel and put some air in . But the sound didn't %26quot;go away%26quot; . it sounds like 2 thin metal pieces sliding each other ( it's a high pitched shreiking/ screeching sound) i dn't understand what's going on . I dn't have a job right now , looking for a job , should i take it to the honda service center where i bought it ( will it be covered ) , or any service center ...
I was wondering if that exactly is the problem , and how much will it cost me to fix itHow much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?I don't think is the cv joints or the bearings, since the bearings will sound (while you're driving) like you are driving a pick-up truck with huge wheels on it, (you know the sound they make)
And if it's the cv joints it will only and ONLY when you turn to either side (clack, clack, clack noise), if it's screeching noise it's the brake pads, check to see if the disks are smooth, that could be the problem, if they 're not change the pads, that should fix the problem!, BUT if they tell you to change the cv joints it's about $70 labor, plus the parts, each side, if you don;t have the money just tell them that you want the affected side (even though the Honda service they'll try to tell you you need to do both) DO ONLY THE ONE, then when you have the money do the other one, i don't think is the bearings...
But whatever you do don't take to the dealer it's gonna cost you a lot!!!, if it's not under warranty off-course.
What you can do to make sure it's not the cv-joints is this:
Turn the wheels to one side and look inside (the other side where you put the nuts that hold the tire) and you'll see a large piece of rubber like a cup, that's called the %26quot;boot%26quot; they'll have a metal ring that holds it in place, if that's loose or you see grease all over it, that's the problem, but like i said before i think is your brake pads. GOOD LUCK!!!How much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?Replace wheel bearings...cheap - CV Joints...very expensive, Tonto!How much does it cost to change wheel bearings / Cv Joint ?If it's under warranty, you ought to be covered. It sounds more like a wheel bearing than the CV joint.
Check the rubber boot between the wheel and the transaxle. Look around the boot as well. These things can get a hole and throw grease out. Look for a pattern of grease around the boot. If there is a hole, yes it's the CV joint and it' gonna be expensive. I've never done a Honda CV, but you're looking at $350 +

How hard is it to change the right CV joint on a 2003 GMC Yukon?
It clicks and hammers when turned to the left while the wheel is turning, the harder the turn, the louder the rotational frequency noise.How hard is it to change the right CV joint on a 2003 GMC Yukon?If you are talking about doing it yourself, a CV joint is pretty involved. I've never done it, but I am pretty sure you have to disassemble all the suspension on that side, and the wheel bearings, hubs, etc.
Really a professional job I think, unless you are pretty confident in your skills. Check out a Haynes or other repair manual and you can flip through it and see what's up.
