1. CV joints? (score: 1): Author: "Michael R. Clements" <mrclem@telocity.com>; Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 07:35:47 -0700; My old Honda Civic is making popping or cracking sounds when I give it gas when the steering wheel is turned. I suspect this is the CV joints starting to go bad. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me w; /html/ba-autox/2001-09/msg00226.html (7,724 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: James Creasy <black94pgt@pacbell.net>; Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 09:19:35 -0700; the classic symptom of a bad cv joint is a steady clicking when turning sharply. popping and cracking could be other things too, such as loose strut tower bolts, bad strut, loose or missing sway bar; /html/ba-autox/2001-09/msg00227.html (8,670 bytes)

Specials tools needed, very long breaker bar to pop loose the crown nut on the wheel end of the halfshaft, ball-joint seperator, and snap-ring plyers.

"really messy and uncomfortable and hard work" doesn't sound like the kind of thing that I want to do myself.

(as I recall) and it's an easier job. I'd go that way, as the other joint could go next month... Jerry Mouton mai; /html/ba-autox/2001-09/msg00230.html (9,468 bytes)
6. RE: CV joints? (score: 1): Author: "Michael R. Clements" <mrclem@telocity.com>; Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 09:50:10 -0700; That could change my approach. If the job is easier when replacing the entire halfshafts, and I can buy them for around $150, then I would be inclined to do the job myself.

(score: 1): Author: "Rob Weinstock" <weinstro@hotmail.com>; Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 19:14:20 +0200; I suspect that if you take it to a mechanic, they will pretty much insist on replacing the entire halfshaft with a rebuilt unit, rather than rebuilding a specific CV joint. Less labor. You will still; /html/ba-autox/2001-09/msg00232.html (8,276 bytes)

One axle on my del Sol takes about 30 minutes to remove, and that includes jacking up the car. You can get a full axle from www.raxles.com for pretty cheap.

I checked, and the axles were $237.42 each on 6/9/2000 from Foreign Affair, and they were new Honda units.

Clements" <mrclem@telocity.com>; Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 14:14:04 -0700; I called them today and they said it would cost around $600 total to do both axles. If the parts alone are $500, then the $100 or so for the labor seems like a good deal. Thanks for all the info, and; /html/ba-autox/2001-09/msg00238.html (11,868 bytes)

Each halfshaft has two CV joints, one inner, one outer. Basically, they last effectively forever until; /html/ba-autox/2001-09/msg00241.html (13,170 bytes)
