Yesterday, I was just pulling into my driveway, and suddenly something in the drivers side made a loud popping noise, then I had no power to either of the front wheels. This is a 1988 gl 3 door fwd with lever 4WD. I have no fwd now and can only drive in 4wd, but makes a loud popping noise whenever the wheel is turned or whenever I hit even the slightest bump. I can't turn the wheel past 1 full rotation without my steering locking up completely. I was just wondering if there was a way that I could pull out the front axles rendering the car rwd. Any suggestions?

Yeah sounds like a bad c/v yes there is a way to separate the axle from the part bolted to the hub there's a few threads on that but its very bad for the trans to run rwd so I kindly recomend just replacing the cv.

Broken cv axle.

 

replace it and your good to go.

Ok, I have used the search feature in an attempt to find a thread on replacing a cv axle, if I could find one that would be most helpful

google it. itll prolly come up w a usmb thread anyway. or at least it usually does. hth
