WoodsWagon Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I replaced the left side halfshaft on my dad's 95 legacy with a reman one. The one that was on it looked origional. The outboard CV was donefor, it has 1/8 of slop in it. Turning the shaft at all without the wheel turning is not good. The hardest part was removing the old axel nut. I screwed up the camber when removing the spindle from the strut, but I set it kinda where it used to be. How bad is it to have one side set different from the other? I know it will cause funny tire wear, but will it affect drivability? It's going in for an alignment next week sometime, but will be driven in the meantime.

lmdew Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 It can cause very fast wear if its off and some handling problems. Next time save yourself the problem and pull the pinch bolt out of the bottom knuckle. You can then leave the alingment alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
