When replacing CV Axles in pairs, complete the installation on one side before removing the axle from the other side, otherwise the differential gears may become misaligned which requires the transaxle to be taken apart so the gears can be reassembled.
Axles should always be replaced in pairs (Passenger and Driver). This reduces the overall time required to replace two axles at different times.
Professional Installation is Highly Recommended.
CV Axle Installation
- Compare the new CV axle to the old CV axle to ensure both are the same design.
- Slide the inboard end of the axle into position inside the transaxle. Be careful not to damage the output seal in the process.
- Push the inboard end of the axle into the transaxle until the retaining ring snaps into place. If you can’t push the axle into place by hand, you may need to use a dead blow hammer on the outboard end of the axle to tap the axle into position.
- Make sure the axle is fully seated and flush with the transaxle. Double-check that the axle is seated properly by grasping the portion closest to the transaxle and pulling it outward. The CV axle should remain firmly in place.
Note: Do not pull on the shaft portion of the axle or the axle’s boots.
- Slide the outboard end of the axle into the hub.
- Slide the ball joint stud into the steering knuckle.
- Reinstall the hub nut loosely by hand. Do not tighten the hub nut down at this time.
- Install the castle nut on the ball joint stud. Use a torque wrench to tighten the castle nut to the manufacturer’s specification.
- Install a new cotter pin into the castle nut.
- Reinstall the wheel/tire assembly on the lug nuts.
- Tighten the lug nuts until they’re snug using a ratchet and socket.
- Safely remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specification.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the hub nut to the manufacturer’s specification.
- Reinstall the hub cap or center cap onto the wheel.
- Check the transmission fluid level and top it off as needed.
How Long Can You Drive on a Bad CV Axle?
Even though you may be able to get away with driving a vehicle with a bad CV axle for some time, you don't want to take any chances. A broken CV joint can cause the front steering and suspension system to collapse, resulting in a dangerous loss of steering control.
