I like your trick of gently prying on the CV joint while tapping it laterally. I've always just pried all around the joint until it pops out but I will try your method next time. Your presentation and narration are great.

I have pulled the plug on remanufactured parts, including axles. Brake calipers are the only thing I will use remanufactured unless there's no other practical choice. The aftermarket new axles have treated me well over the years, but with no hot-rodding kind of use to go with them.

In my experience: Aftermarket axles will often have different construction, such as hollow shaft tubing and lack of rubber balance weight. They're often not balanced well and will cause vibration at high vehicle speeds. They're more prone to rust breakage since they're usually inferior metal and sometimes hollow. They usually have cheap grease and poor heat treatment of the bearing surfaces. Reman axles don't last long because of how they refurb them. The cheap way is to machine the bearing surfaces in the joints that are worn and galled up, and fit oversize bearings. The damage and the process of milling that damaged surface smooth removes the factory case hardening which is often not replaced by a second round of heat treating. If it is treated, it may not be a high quality deep hardening. The soft surface gets worn and hammered by use when it's reinstalled regardless of grease or driving style. You'll have high quality shafts and joint cups and splines, but those soft bearing surfaces and replacement bearings are not up to the task of lasting for a long time. It's deceiving! I personally try to buy low mileage, rust-free used axles from a junk yard. You'll get a factory OE axle that has not been molested, and if the car was simply rear ended or T boned, the risk of axle damage is very minimal. If you have to remove the axle ans the vehicle has over 50k miles, replace the axle shaft seal in the transaxle case as insurance.

That is true with most cheaper aftermarket axles. The thing about Raxles Axles is that they don't reuse or remanufacture the old bearings and joints, they will replace with them BRAND NEW ones which makes their quality to top notch. The price does somewhat reflect it, however quality parts carry a higher price tag. So far though, they're well worth it.

Another method is to get steel cable or non stretch rope. Tie a loop in them that fits in behind the axle yoke. Feed a length of the cable out about 3 foot past the wheel arch. Tie the outboard end to a sledgehammer or similar. Then do your best tiger woods impression and give it a little swing and boom. Out she pops.

I also had a great experience with raxles. Would use them again but I haven’t needed to !

I recently bought an axle from Raxles, but I don't plan to buy from them again. Total cost with taxes and two way shipping for driver side axle was $326. Keep in mind, that if I did not have an OEM axle that looks good (not rusty) to return to them, I would have been hit with a core charge of about $75. If I didn't have my OEM axle, I would have paid about $375 for an axle. That's not the end. So four months later I'm getting this vibration and I pulled the axle from Raxles and the outer joint is binding, so that's a damaged joint. Yes, lifetime warranty, but they're going to want $60 for a replacement (I gotta pay for two way shipping). At this point if I want a good axle, my total will be $386 ($326+$60). Keep in mind, I am installing the axle myself, otherwise I'd have to pay a mechanic to swap the axles. It's been frustrating to say the least. I recently bought a good used OEM axle for my TSX on eBay for $60 and I am rebuilding it myself. Wish me luck.

The rebuilt axle has been good for 2+years so far. It's a lot of work to rebuild. A cheaper alternative that I am willing to try next time is an axle from Insane Shafts.

milanmastracci Because whe I turn my wheel to the left side especially when I start to drive I feel some bump/low noise, and it might be from the Axles .

I've never checked axles the way he did. Up down motion on inner joint is normal. Slam the nut home with the wheels off with an impact gun is fine. One last thing, a cracking noise coming from either side with the brake applied and giving it gentle gas usually indicates a loose axle nut. You get it on a reverse to drive typically in a parking lot maneuver.

Did you have any vibration when accelerating? While driving?

One should always be ready to plug the transmission when pulling out a half shaft! Or end up with transmission fluid all over the ground! Find a bottle cap the same size as your opening! Also, With the half shaft out, That would be the perfect time to lube your inner race & also grease your output shaft! Now for those in the northeast, use a cookie wheel on a die grinder & clean up the rust or oxidation on the hub & inner part of the wheel. Good time to inspect the brakes & lube the guides! I also use my 90 degree die grinder to clean up my brake guides & etc. Always grease the axle where it pushes threw the hub & rotor to prevent it from rusting/oxidizing!

great job! Experiencing road vibration and feel it in the steering wheel of my 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe. Maybe I have a starting point. Thanks.

Raxles are the best. I have used four sets on various cars and never had a problem. The problem with the aftermarket axles is that they re-grind the surfaces for the balls that allow the CV joints to flex. Once they grind, they remove the heat-treated hardening of the bearing surfaces that the balls glide on. While they are still steel, they are no longer hardened steel and they will wear about 10 times faster than CV joints with hardened surfaces. Raxles only uses newly manufactured CV joints that are all new hardened steel. About the only thing you get on a Raxles axle that is not new is the axle shaft itself. These shafts are all checked for straightness and straightened if needed.

Great video, you did a good job.

With the CV axle without the dynamic damper did you experience vibration during acceleration? Did the damper make any difference?

I'm not familiar with your Accord, but does it have a cross-member for a engine mount? Is it a solid rubber mount? Use a solid rubber mount on the cross member with stock OEM for the side, it will give your axle a fighting chance for hard driving.

There is an advantage to new aftermarket axles that I didn't see in the top 20 comments. You will notice that there is a rubber weight on remanufactured axles, that is a dampener to make up for the axle not being balanced. With new aftermarket axles they are built as a balanced unit and don't need the dampener. That said, you have lowered your Honda, and you are putting NON-OEM stress on your CV joints. When a car is higher the CV shaft extends to a relaxed position. When your car is lowered the joint is compressed, jamming it and limiting mobility. You need shorter axles. The "high quality axle" will fail if it is the stock length. In other words expect them to last about the same as the "cheap" axles.

It is hard to find drive shaft for my volvo, because It equipped with the GM 4T65EV transmission. But finally I found on polar parts website. On the left side the transmission oil started to leak.... Maybe old seal... OK Then we replaced the SEAL: I bought VOLVO ORIGINAL seal... After 1 month, It started to leak AGAIN. What can cause it? - Can a seal installed incorrectly? badly? - Can an aftermarket drive shaft misfits and cause transmission oil leaks? I am really tired, spent a lot money on this drive the car back every time to repair center.

I bought a rebuilt OE axle for my Honda at a major parts house and it did not last long. I then went with an import axle (China). We’ll see how long that lasts, but it is working well.

The more modern Honda and Acura's eat axles due to their power and weight. Yes a cheap aftermarket axle will work well on a Civic, Corolla, Mirage, Escort, Elantra etc but when you double or triple the horsepower output the Chinese parts are not up to the task. I believe the problem is they use the same Rzeppa joint not considering the power output of the application. Additionally aftermarket parts suppliers realize people are not keeping a used car that long and have adjusted quality accordingly.

Scott Vickers only if you have to disassemble any suspension parts to get to the bolts that hold the wheel bearing assembly in place in the knuckle. Some cars require the disconnection of a lower control arm ball joint and the strut to get to those stubborn bolts that come out the back of your wheel bearing assembly. I also recommend doing this because you can knock out the axle a lot easier when there’s free play in the knuckle itself. make sure to purchase a ball joint separator and extra ball joint boots in case you tear anything. Also hand tighten your suspension before torquing to yield. Raise your suspension to the recommended driving height with your floor jack and a rubber pad. Then torque suspension parts to yield. Take the car down to the shop for a alignment and you’re good to go. Good luck

What's the cheapest air compressor/tire inflator can I use to bleed breaks?

@mannys9130

5 жыл бұрын

Cheapest method is the two person pump and crack method. Someone applies pressure to the brake pedal, and another person opens and closes the bleeder screw in time with the 1st person. For a one man system, the cheapest option is a vacuum hand pump kit from Harbor Freight. One-way self bleeding bleeder screws also exist and may be a good option for you. They have a spring loaded check valve inside, so you loosen them up and then just pump the pedal. They let fluid out but no air back in. Afterward, you tighten them down and they are totally sealed. They take the place of the current bleeders that are there now on the car. Of course, you can use the Venturi vacuum bleeder but you need a lot of air flow for that. Even a small pancake compressor won't be enough. The Gucci be-all-end-all is the Motive power bleeder. You could build one yourself too out of a garden spray tank, a few fittings and silicone, tubing, and a brake reservoir cap. You fill it with brake fluid, pump it up to pressurize it, and then just open the bleeders. The fluid squirts out under pressure. You'll get a 100% perfect bleed every time. The vacuum bleeders have a habit of sucking air around the threads of the bleeder screw. Put some silicone grease around the nipple to seal the connection between the vac bleeder nipple and the bleeder screw.

milanmastracci thanks brother, you’re videos are very helpful

Nice
