Got a question for you all. I have a 2017 Tundra, and ive been having some noise over bumps from the front end. Ive looked at everything up there and replaced breaks. The drivers side CV shaft on the inner housing, i can move the housing up and down a fair bit, and it makes a clanking noise - cant move the inner passenger side at all. Is this normal or potential issue. When i talk about moving the housing up and down, i know there is horizontal movement in the cv shaft which is normal. I have replaced the CV shaft, noise is still there, and i believe its worse now. The CV shaft is fully inserted in the housing as it contacts the diff it attaches too. Second question, when i pulled the inner seal on the diff that contacts the CV shaft, there was an o-ring that came out, questioning whether i put it back correctly. Thank you for any help.

@funjunkiegarage

19 күн бұрын

Sounds like the needle bearing on the driver side that the cv rides on is bad. Look into ECGS bushing replacement. And replace the seal at the same time.

Actually your method of changing out the cv axles is pretty much in line with what the factory service manual says to do! I dont know why the dealer would quote you 3 hours to do this when this is nearly the exact same procedure as what they would use. The only difference is instead of taking off the bolts holding the lower bj to the knuckle, it says take off the castle nut and pop the bj that way.

@funjunkiegarage

Thanks for watching. It's such a simple job, no way I'd pay a dealer to do it. And yes, the castle nut removal and disassembly is the proper way.

Once you tap in the new CV, do you find that there is a little bit of play on the inner part going into the diff? Is that normal? My new CV feels like it can go in and out of the diff a few millimeters if I give it a tug.

@@funjunkiegarage by the way. It is only 59 ft.lb… I broke a bolt on each side putting it back together

Did you have to add fluid after the swap?

@funjunkiegarage

I did not add any. I lost only an ounce or 2 . I jack the side I'm changing up extra high if possible to help prevent loss. The driver side will lose more due to it being up next to the diff. Topping off the fluid would be best, just to be sure. Thanks for watching and asking. I appreciate your support of my channel.

Just changed out the passenger side, the knock is gone but I hear a whistling noise. Goes in and out. I looked under with a small leak. What are you thoughts? Thanks 💪

That's a tough one without hearing it. Can you raise the wheel and spin the tire and duplicate the noise? A new CV can make a little boot rub noise at first. I assume it's coming from that side you just replaced. Did you install a new seal?

You didn't get all four ball joint bolts in you weren't even lined up that would have been another 15 min

Will this guide work on a 94? I think the 94 is a 2nd gen?

@funjunkiegarage

Thanks for watching and commenting. The 2nd gen procedure is similar to this on the outer part, but unbolt the top ball joint on yours. The inner bolts to a flange on the diff. So just unbolt that end. If you remove the studs from the flange and grind the knurled surface off, you can put it together like nuts and bolts, and if you have to change it again, it eliminates the need to unbolt the ball joint. Hope that helps.

@@funjunkiegarage thanks for replying so quickly! I found another video of an 89 pickup that was the same set up as mine. The guy unbolted a shock absorber and moved it out of the way and his came right out. I will try his first since it requires less to do but if it doesnt work I will try your suggestion. I'll report back. 👍

Yeah, please do let me know. I'm glad you found a procedure for a 2nd gen. I've only done a couple of those and I'm always happy to learn an eaiser/better way.

@@funjunkiegarage Hey man! Just reporting back. The method from the other video works, but it can be a bit tedious. Minimal amount of bolts and nuts to remove I will say. It requires you to undo the shock absorber for clearance. It also requires you to jack your ride up and set a jack stand on the frame so you can set your jack on the outside control arm. From there you have to jack that up to create enough of an angle upwards for it to all slot out, on top of rotating the axle housing with the axle itself for it to rotate out. Like I said, tedious, however I believe if you do that method a few times you could get pretty quick at it. That being said, I will absolutely be removing the upper ball joint on the other side. 👍 Progress: Left side axle is in but I lost one of the threaded housing bolts. 😑 wish me luck on the rest I hope this comment makes sense/is comprehensible. 👍

Nice, thanks for the update. Makes perfect sense. I'll have to try that method if I get a chance. Absolutely best of luck on the other side. If you try the way I mentioned, let me know which you prefer please. I'd appreciate it.

The socket I have is a 36mm. I'll check it out though and measure the nut. It sure seems to fit well, I've used it many times. Thanks for the info, I'll check it out. Edit: factory size is 35mm. Most aftermarket have a 36mm I checked all the nuts I have and 6 out of 9 were 36mm and 3 were 35mm. The 36mm socket fit both very nicely. So yes, you are correct 35mm factory. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
