front CV output shaft from transmission, all floppy and such...

Featured Replies

so recently ive noticed a weird vibration on the passenger side (right front) in my 87 GL Turbo wagon if i turn left at speeds over 50mph. it has a s/r part time 4wd 5spd.

 

i recently replaced the cv axle, wheel bearings, and ball joint. and when i changed the axle i realized that the inner cv joint can move around a bit, what im wondering is if its a bearing on the output shaft or just that its really worn out. and how hard it is to replace/change it

 

thanks everyone

What you are feeling is not bearing slop.

 

It's a combination of play in the splines of CV onto stub, and Stub into spider gear of diff carrier.

 

There really is no fix for that other than to disassemble the trans, replace the spider gears and the stubs.

 

I doubt that slop is your issue.  I would suggest tierods, balljoints, Struts, and A-arm and Radius Bushings.
