Honda Crv CV Joint Keeps Coming Loose
Ok so I have a 1998 Honda Crv Manualtransmission. It has been sitting for a couple years after crashing it into a wall. A couple months ago, I finally decided to get it going. I got a new power steering pump because the old one was damaged. I also got the tires aligned. After driving it for a couple weeks, I noticed the ball joints were shot. I decided to take it to a mechanic to fix it but on the way there, one of the joints completely went out making the car not drive. So I got it towed and the mechanic put in the new joints. I got a mile down the road after the mechanic worked on it and the right joint popped out. So I got it towed back to the mechanic. He just put the joint back and and said that something may be bent but see if it comes out again to be sure. Later that day, it did come out again. I had the mechanic look at it again and he put in a new joint. He also checked the tie rod and strut to see if something was making it come loose when turned and such. He could not figure out why the joint was coming out! He said it may be the control arm or a bent crossmember but he could not tell. He recommended I go to a body specialist to see if the frame is bent or anything before he goes looking at the control arm. I actually got the car back today and I have it siting at a parking lot because i am unsure if it will come back out. I drove it around the parking lot for at least an hour and the new joint didnt come out. But if you look under the car, you can kinda tell the right joint is in a little different than the left. So something is definitely bent. I just dont know what.
Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know what this could be? I'm not the smartest when it comes to cars so I am willing to take any advice or pointers.
