After searching and doing some research, I believe I have a bad CV joint. First of all, there is always a clunking noise when accelerating or decelerating. Second, yesterday coming back home from a long trip, I noticed that there is a very noticeable vibration when driving at speeds over 60 mph and slightly turning left (following the curves on a highway). It's fine when driving straight or slightly turning right. However, there seems to be no cliking when making sharp turns at low speeds. I checked the bearings about a week ago and there was no play either. Did anyone have a similar problem?

 

yeah i have the same problem lol

 

So, did you replace the axle?

 

If you replace them, obviously replace them with raxles. I did mine about 4 months ago and they are great.

 

I think I was wrong again. I jacked up the car, checked the right wheel and there was play again!!! I re-tightened the axle and it seems fine now. I'll have to find a big torque wrench and make sure to tighten it to spec this time.

 

locktite it!

 

I will! should 250lbs of torque be enough?

 

there should also be a lock pin on these things.

 

Cotter pin only prevents the nut from coming off all the way. there is still a gap between the pin and the nut.

 

I was gonna say the same thing, the same thing happened to me my nut came loose and ****ed up my bearing and hub

 

I have the a similar problem, where would this nut be exactly?

 

take of your front wheels, it's the one on the center with a big pin in front of it.

 

Does anyone know if the transverse link replacement involves taking off the axle nut? If that so, I wonder if they never tighten them back to spec.

 

nevermind, i checked with the dealer and they said it doesn't.
