tilewitch Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 A friend replaced the cv joint for me and something keeps shearing the roll pin. It happened twice. Once I backed out of the driveway and it sheared the pin and the next time I drove around the block before it sheared the pin. What could be causing this and is it an expensive fix?

d8usti5n Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Wrong axles..... had this happen to me multiple times, if the parts store sells you a turbo axle for a non turbo car or vice versa, the spline count will be slightly off. It will stil go on, but there will be play in it and then.... snap goes the pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledheckman Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I can also vouch for this. Autozone got the wrong axle as well bought 2 and they were both incorrect splines were to big. Ended up finding two originals on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 What vehicle? If it's an ea81 Hatch, then order parts for an '84. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
