Brand new CV shaft... defective?
Hello.
I just installed a replacement CV shaft because the boot was ripped on my old one and it had collected more than enough dust and debris to warrant a new one.
The car has been fine for the last 4 days since the axle was replaced.
Just as a note, the car is a turbo'd B18C and does not have power steering.
Today, on my lunch break at work, I started hearing loud pinging noises when I turn left. Each time the noise happens, the steering wheel jerks to the right and wants to straighten out. It started only making this noise and jerking the steering when I took hard lefts, but now even the slightest left turn will provoke pings and steering jerks.
I've wheel hopped a couple times since the install, but not severely.
I have not gotten a chance to get under the car yet, but does anybody have any ideas as to what this could be?
Thanks,
Adam
