Been fixing cars and trucks for 40 years and have watched hundreds of UA-cam videos. Lots of great mechanics out there, but this guy is the best one for providing on-camera instruction. A1 Auto is very fortunate to have him.
GREAT DETAILS EXPLANATION . I LEFT MY CAR JACK UP WHILE FRONT WHEEL HANGING OFF THE GROUND FOR 4 MONTHS . AND NOW MY CV AXLES IS OFF PLACEMENT AND NOW IS MAKING NOISES AS IT DRIVING. MY ADVISE NEVER HANG THE CAR UP FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME BETTER OFF LET IT SIT ON GROUND INSTEAD. HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS REPAIRS FOR STUPID MISTAKE.
Took my Tacoma in for a RnR C.V. axle, have no idea what happened but afterwards the front axle locked up in 4 WD..SURPRISINGLY the shop took full responsibility and ended up putting a new front differential in it...I won't go back there but kudos for manning up to their costly mistake..
Good video, my very first car was a 1994 Mazda Protege and that thing had the loudest clicking half shafts I've ever heard. And it all started with a torn boot, now 15 years later I inspect all the boots on all my cars. Good preventive maintenance.
Be sure to appreciate how much easier it is to turn after new axles are installed. First time I did some full turns after replacing them on a GMC Yukon I was truly amazed.
Great vid, one small mistake was you identified the outer bearings “race” it is in fact a cage. Bearing races are the surfaces that bear weight the cage is what keeps the balls/rollers separated and inside the bearing
great explanation and super thorough detail on installing one, going through this right now myself but i already got the old axle out, good tip at the end about not separating the tripod bearing from the boot on the install.
I learned more than any other Scotty Kilmer DIY vid. Keep it up man I heard this clicking ln the right axle when I hit a pot hole hard with a big bang! Then I noticed it kept clicking and clicking. Took it to the Toyota Dealership my car being a 2010 Toyota Corolla LE. They replace my 2 axles for $1,500!!! Then I hear it again for many months everyday I drive the car. This week it has gotten worse and now the clicking is accompanied with a weird squel or grind sound while turning in my driveway
If your boot is torn, you already have contaminants in the bearings. Just replace the whole axel on the bad side. It's easier to replace and isn't really all that expensive. Also: Find the ones with a lifetime guarantee.👍
Your video very professional and direct to the point. Not like other videos try to be funny and telling stories about unnecessary stuff and they are distractive. I like your job man. .

YO! I was installing new axels and managed to separate an axel by accident. I was super worried I screwed something up. I got it back in buy taping it back into place many, many times with a mallet. Now that I have a clearer picture of what's inside it makes a lot of sense why that worked. Every time I smacked it I was jiggling those bearings back into their slots. Thanks for the video!
I got lucky with my CV joints. Ball joint popped out and so did the CV joint, reversing in a parking lot. Towed home. Replaced lower control arm and managed to get the CV joint back in. By constantly pushing and jiggling as I spun the axle around (For like 10 minutes straight). My boot also came off, so I could see where to start them. In the winter time of course. Always gotta happen in the winter.
Nice video =) Just one for the road (npi) 2:55 If you cant wait for new clamps , and need to get going without OCD alerts, you can just mount one extra identical screw clamp 180 degrees opposite to the other so they cancel out the unbalance. Probably obvious to commoners, but there are always those people, that makes it worth mentioning =)
Plus the idea is bogus on the face of it. Wheel weights come in ounce increments and are put 7-9 inches away from the axle centerline. The weight of a clamp is tenths of an ounce and are about an inch from the axle centerline. A screw clamp will work fine and not affect balance significant, but if you don't believe the second clamp idea is extremely valid.
I fixed my CV boot just by re-greasing through the crack and then covering it entirely with RTV. A year later...still running perfectly without any noises. That method only works if you catch it before the bearings go out...and if you're like me and drive a cheap beater car
Thank you!!!! I separated the axel on my 09 Corolla 1.8l , was changing the strut the knuckle came down ,tore the boot and it separated from the axel, managed to put it back in but now got to replace both axles
Unfortunately I watch this video too late, that just happened to me and I busted the axle boot putting too much pressure on it. Long story short don't do any repairs if you not sure enough. Great video !!!!
Right. I was working on removing the lower control arm on my vehicle and end it up disconnecting the joints just like on the video. Should have done the research before attempting the repair.
Thank you Guys!! When I was changing my front suspension, I accidentally pulled the inner joint.. and when luckily I’ve put it back I got very curious how it is inside the boot! Thank you guys, for this video! I subscribe
+Hido G Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Pro tip: add a second worm clamp on the shaft next to the boot and position the screw portion opposite on the one on the boot to correct the balance. You're welcome 😁
I believe also when these go up your tires will go bald as well ,inside tread will whare down and will cost you a new pair of tires,going through this process right at this moment,great vid.
This is such a great video for those of us that know nothing about cars and engineering and yet all experienced a clicking CV joint before at some point on our cars. Also, awesome confirmation that there are honest mechanics out there. Shout out to Fuji Auto for taking care of my car many years ago. Thank you.
Amazing video. I appreciate the education, explanation and examples shown on this video. This channel is doing a great job with the diagnosing and repair videos 😃
the general public should watch some of these videos, and it will teach them a few things about why vehicles need maintenance, etc, instead of just jumping in the vehicle, driving it, and blaming the manufacturers when something goes wrong
That's a good point Tim. I think around the 5:00 mark, Len is addressing it when he talks about dirt and debris in the outer joint. But I would have liked to have seen one that had gone bad and was clicking pulled apart to actually show the close up of what is causing it instead of seeing a new one in perfect condition.
Great carefully done closeups of tha joint - really never knew how complex it was …. The axels are one of the major costs I keep spending on my car- front axels keep lasting 45k every 4x yrs - I’ll neve have it done at Firestone nor mavis.
Very educating, I understand how important it is to have the ball joints with grease dirt free and not just add more without cleaning it first. Thank you.
Thank you so much for explaining how the bearings on the inner joint have to be spread outwards to go back in if your axle falls out. I've been trying to get my axle back in, and it will not go back in, and I'm pretty sure this is why.
Best cv axle video ever!! Right down to the clamps...except, not being a professional, I'd much rather clean and rebuild the outer joint.on a 20 year-old car they only make aftermarket parts for. If it doesn’t work, I'll hit y'all up for an axle next paycheck.😂
Excellent video with a great visual demonstration of how a CV joint really works by showing the two different joints themselves. A real "A-1" demonstration. ;-D Thanks!
This is a really cool video. As someone with no car knowledge other than issues that pop up with my own old car along the way, I have learned alot, and it's entertaining :-)
Thanks for the Video sir , on how the CV joint works, and what happens when the boots are torn.It s always the outer CV joint that gets defective after dirt ,water gets in it.Most front wheel drive cars have this problem.Manufactures want to save cost.If I have a choice , I will go for a Rear wheel car .
I normally love these guys, but did not answer the question of why a CV axle clicks.......seriously I wanted a specific answer, never saw one. But keep up the good work. If this was an assumption answer. I get it, I just wanted specifics is all, I have a open boot but it only clicks when i stop and start. Just wondering how long till i absolutely have to change it. Thanks I am a avid mechanic, but my mind is going...Thanks guys and gals
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video and the one where you change the axle on a liberty. I just wish I had those air tools... Gotta use those old school bicep tools on my axle.🤪
I advise rebuilding your original axle. Getting the wrong part and not catching it can eat up a days work. You'll be stuck sticking in your original axle anyways. So.save a buck and just use you oem axle, by putting on a new boot, clamps and grease.
As it happens using normal universal joints there has to be 2 as there is a phenomenon called cyclic variation. Where the u joint is not rotating at the same speed through its rotation. With 2 it counteracts this. Hence c v joint. Constant velocity and only one required.
I got somebody that came to My house late at night & took a razor blade to My outer boot. Both of the axles arent even a year old yet & it was put in at a mech shop so I know its pit back together correctly. Now I am in the process of waiting on boot, clamp & bearing grease to arrive so I can make a vodeo on how to rebuild it. But this video was very indepth & correct. How about making a cv axle rebuild where the 6 bearings are like Im fixing to do soon???
I have the same noise like on this video. As I speed up, klicking is faster, and noise increases on gas release. In my case I can hear noise only above 60km/h till 130km/h. Did you have same issues with that car on video? Thank's 👍😊
ty u actually did answer my question I was looking at so many videos, but you answer my question I have a 1999 pathfinder Nissan. I made an appointment to fix it in a week, but I need to go to work.
I always worried that tapping the CV axle into the transmission with a mallet would damage the CV axle but looking at the inboard side of the CV axle, it looks like that wouldn't be a problem. What is your opinion on seating the CV axle with a mallet? I always have a bugger of a time getting the axle in without a mallet.
Replace the entire axel about the same time to do and similar cost at the end of the day .. Of cause the boots are cheaper then the entire axel but down the track will cost more if u just change the boot for obvious reasons spend now save later …
What no my suz 2011 traverse shakes a lil also makes clunking noise when I go over bump. Got new stunts, from y'all by the way y'all are Awesome. It sounds to me that's my problem. I want to know if there are other symptoms.
Great explanation of "Axle Separation".... explained my problem. of why it's so long at the tranny side and won't shrink...... so I cant get the axle out!.... tried sawing the axle with a jigsaw... Ha Ha... it's made with uncuttable super hard steel... now I just hope to get the bearings back into their housing to take the axle out.... or I'll try the hacksaw :D
I changed my upper control arms, on both sides of course of my 2012 GMC Sierra and the axle did pop out on the driver side. I was able to twist and put it back in and the whole assembly seems to be turning ok now. Am I good you think or should I peel the boot out and check? I like how you demonstrated what those other clamps would do if used.
@@danialrj Hi. I've taken my 1999 Lincoln Navigator into the mechanic twice, and spend thousands of dollars on suspention work, to have a LOUD "CLUNKING" noise repaired -- but the problem still remains. The noise happens occasionally -- usually when I pull out of a parking spot. When I turn the wheel right, and begin to move forward, It sounds like the front passenger side makes a HUGE, LOUD, "CLUNKING" noise, as thought I am rolling over a BOULDER, and the vehicle strains to accelerate forward. What could the problem be?
My right wheel sounds like marbles are moving in it. I recently had the wheel bearing changed. I hate taking it back to the mechanic. Could the mechanic have forgotten to tighten something? Hopefully I don't need a CV.
Great job!!! Thank you. I may have separated my cv joint when installing new struts. When I apply the brakes the steering wheel jumps a little. And the car moves also. What did I do wrong? Thanks!
+Mark Slusz We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great video, I got a question, I’ve just fit a lift kit front and back on my 4x4 and now when I’m turning hard right only when I’m coming to a stop I hear a loud clinking sound coming from under my driver side front guard and not sure if CV or wheel hub bearings?
On my car the rings around those needles in the inner joint bearings weren't stopped by any ring or such so they just all fell out. I later rebuilt the bearings but lost a couple, there is a gap of at most two needles in each of the bearings. They seem to spin normally and I haven't taken the car for a test run yet but I hope it won't cause too much of an issue...
Love the videos they are the best…but always ask myself what camera you used to capture the vehicle in motion so clean video. I want to buy a camera for my needs. Not a mechanic but a do it yourself and bought parts from 1A auto always wonder about the camera.
I had the same dreaded click on my 2002 Gwagon but in end it was the front short drive shaft from transmission to the transfer case. Pulled it out and insides of the U-joints on both ends were dried out.
Great video, Very helpful. I have a 06 BMW 530xi E60. I had the passenger axle replaced and it keeps coming out of the transfer case. Any idea why this can happen?
Good video ,but you forgot to show us the tools to install a boot and how to grease the axles.I had to rebuild one passenger side axle,l got it done and it is working fine without any noise ,but how does a pro do it. Thanks for an answer😎😎
Porsche Cayman next to me put his spoiler up , I thought " thats f*****g it" ... nailed it ,he was dust , boost pipe comes off, my car is the only one in the world that wont run with intercooler pipe off , hard shoulder (side of the freeway) lots of Debris , punctures BOTH inner and outer boots, alternator gets coated in grease aswell as debris , engine strap snaps some how.....lots of fun in a classic Ford ......Porsche Cayman cruises past with a smirk lol

Did u find out the culprit?
If your boot is torn, you already have contaminants in the bearings.
Just replace the whole axel on the bad side. It's easier to replace and isn't really all that expensive.

Replace the entire axel about the same time to do and similar cost at the end of the day .. Of cause the boots are cheaper then the entire axel but down the track will cost more if u just change the boot for obvious reasons spend now save later …

Hi. I've taken my 1999 Lincoln Navigator into the mechanic twice, and spend thousands of dollars on suspention work, to have a LOUD "CLUNKING" noise repaired -- but the problem still remains.
The noise happens occasionally -- usually when I pull out of a parking spot.
When I turn the wheel right, and begin to move forward, It sounds like the front passenger side makes a HUGE, LOUD, "CLUNKING" noise, as thought I am rolling over a BOULDER, and the vehicle strains to accelerate forward.
What could the problem be?
Which side would most likely be doing the clicking noise? The tri bearing side or the outer bearings?
Great tips man! Definitely following!
My right wheel sounds like marbles are moving in it. I recently had the wheel bearing changed. I hate taking it back to the mechanic. Could the mechanic have forgotten to tighten something? Hopefully I don't need a CV.
Great job!!! Thank you. I may have separated my cv joint when installing new struts. When I apply the brakes the steering wheel jumps a little. And the car moves also. What did I do wrong? Thanks!
+Mark Slusz We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Could be a lower control arm bushings
. Was in a car when i let go of the brakes you could feel the car jump/move a lot .
Great video, I got a question, I’ve just fit a lift kit front and back on my 4x4 and now when I’m turning hard right only when I’m coming to a stop I hear a loud clinking sound coming from under my driver side front guard and not sure if CV or wheel hub bearings?
Can you do a video about replacing the intermedan cv axle on a terrian gmc 2.4l 2011 to 2017
I liked the dramatisation with the blowtorch !!!
Very useful video, nowadays i watch your vedios before I change anyparts of my car
Need to give this guy an instructional video on how to pronounce.. “VEE”-HICLE! Also... Where is Sue??? She’s the best!
On my car the rings around those needles in the inner joint bearings weren't stopped by any ring or such so they just all fell out. I later rebuilt the bearings but lost a couple, there is a gap of at most two needles in each of the bearings. They seem to spin normally and I haven't taken the car for a test run yet but I hope it won't cause too much of an issue...
Love the videos they are the best…but always ask myself what camera you used to capture the vehicle in motion so clean video. I want to buy a camera for my needs. Not a mechanic but a do it yourself and bought parts from 1A auto always wonder about the camera.
This guy looks chill I like him
Very good explanation
You guys are so informative, thanks
I had the same dreaded click on my 2002 Gwagon but in end it was the front short drive shaft from transmission to the transfer case. Pulled it out and insides of the U-joints on both ends were dried out.
Great video, Very helpful. I have a 06 BMW 530xi E60. I had the passenger axle replaced and it keeps coming out of the transfer case. Any idea why this can happen?
Good video ,but you forgot to show us the tools to install a boot and how to grease the axles.I had to rebuild one passenger side axle,l got it done and it is working fine without any noise ,but how does a pro do it. Thanks for an answer😎😎
Porsche Cayman next to me put his spoiler up , I thought " thats f*****g it" ... nailed it ,he was dust , boost pipe comes off, my car is the only one in the world that wont run with intercooler pipe off , hard shoulder (side of the freeway) lots of Debris , punctures BOTH inner and outer boots, alternator gets coated in grease aswell as debris , engine strap snaps some how.....lots of fun in a classic Ford ......Porsche Cayman cruises past with a smirk lol
