I have to replace my passenger CV axle tommorrow morning, it still has the original cv axles from my understanding and right now they knock terribly. Especially when I downshift my car will jerk and you can hear the axle knock. Any tips on installation? I hear of people running into problems, I just want to have everything down so it'll go easy for me. I am installing it with a friend that has done a few CV axles but anything could happen

 

If you dont have air tools, Break loose the spindle nut(36mm) BEfore you jack up the car. 1/2 breakover bar+ 3ft cheater bar does the trick.


I use this tool to seperate the lower ball joint from the control arm and for the tie-rod.. Works great The rest is pretty straight foward

 

Yup my friend had one thank god from installing his cv axles on his civic the only thing that took us the longest was removing the CV axle itself from the tranny and putting the new one on

 

are you sure it is the axle?
