It was a good video but now it occurs to me that I need a video of someone doing it in their drive way with a floor jack and jack stands. And I don't think that lower ball joint was all the way in when he attempted to put the keeper bolt in. The bolt should only need a light tapping if it's lined up with the groove. I was also wondering if it would work to get the ball joint started in the hole first, then push the control arm into place??? I guess I'll have to try it and find out. Thanks for a close up look at all this, bro. I appreciate it.
For anyone about to do this job you DO NOT need to remove the lower control arm as shown in this video , just let the assembly hang after you take the two lower strut bolts out , you can use a jackstand to support the hanging assembly after you remove the lower strut bolts
You seem to work on a lot of Altimas and they aren’t old cars. On the other hand not many Camrys and Accords seem to come into your shop. Thanks for letting us know to stay away from Altimas.
Meh, I got a 16 with over 225k and only general maintenance done. I'm just now needing to replace a bad wheel bearing making noise. Honestly I'm so happy with my Altima I would put a new Trans in it if it went out.
Yeah... I got a 2012 with a 170k I personally put the last 130 on it and I’m just now starting to have some problems. I can honestly say it served the hell out of me. But definitely time for an upgrade
I have a 2019 nissan altima. I am going to try and fix both axels soon. Can you please tell me what is the name of the tool you use. Impact wrench?. What brand is it?.
Hey man I replaced my cv axle for my 13 Altima and now I have the tpms traction control and abs lights on and a check engine line p0500 which is the speed sensor and idk what to do
It gives you more room this way, but the strut way works if you can do it with the limited room. If you have to take the whole thing, bracket and all apart you will end up removing it anyway...lol
Nissan wants to charge me for this whole thing 1100$ too much parts cost 135$ at AutoZone and wants to charge like 970$ for the labor by looking at your video looks like i can do myself and save 970$
Yard mon, yuh bloodcleet. I have 2015 Nissan Altima with 355,000 miles. Trying to change cv axle right now. No need to take off control arm.take it off up top at steering knuckle or whatever you call it
Seems like nice guy/mechnaic n detailed video... but over detailed... for the diy guy or any novice mechanic on flat rate job Do not remove control arm..as with all cars where struts bolt to knuckle which is majority if not All asian cars, simply remove 2 strut bolts, outter tie rod bolt(which usually isnt necessary) and that gives more than enough access / movement to easily remove axle(s)... If your charging by the hour then yes remove lower arm, might as well do otter tie rod and sway bar links if yah want..... but def not needed and waste of time
Liked and subscribed. Super easy to follow and clean video. I’m in New Mexico working and I paid to have it fixed but I’m sure they got over on me, I will be doing it myself now!
Thank you for that video. Now that I have replaced the CV axle, I have to top up the transmission oil. Do you know how to do that if the top-up-screw is not possible to be removed anymore? I hard I could do it via the speedometer access point? Thanks!
Mine is stuck. I watched another video where it was stuck and he took the middle brace out and then pounded it off to install the new one. I don’t want to have to do that. Is there any other way to get it out?

This the method for us who have lifts
@@alejandronava2295 THAN U WOULS NEED AN ALIGNMENT AFTER REMOVING IT ANYWAYS
@@alejandronava2295 When you remove the control arm likethat youll have to redo alignment right ?
@@alejandronava2295 Hey what about the CV Axle Shaft Carrier Bearing Bracket do you have to replace that ?
I like the way he shows the process
Axel did not just pop out right and I have a 2019….

I got a 2020 60k miles and mines going out now.
I have a 2013 cv 2.5 and that thing is a champ, most people probably treat them like shit. 190 k and barely done any work

You don't have to move the lower control Arm... this guy making me wonder why😢😢😢
Why not just take the two strut bolts out and rock the assembly down?
It gives you more room this way, but the strut way works if you can do it with the limited room. If you have to take the whole thing, bracket and all apart you will end up removing it anyway...lol
Is this the same for 2016 Altima sv ?
