msteel Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 My Loyale has started occasionally saying "kruk-kruk-kruk." It seems most often I'm turning and accelerating, like after at a stop sign. To my ear it sounds like a CV joint does after its been run a while with the boot cracked and grease leaking, but all of my boots are good. If it is a CV joint it seems like it's the newest one, a rebuilt from NAPA I put in a year ago. But I'd hate to go to the effort of changing it if it's something else. Has anybody heard of a CV Joint failing while still sealed? Or any other ideas as to what else on a Loyale would make a similar noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 yup, they can still fail even if the boot isn't torn. Did you ever re-torque down the axle nut after you replaced the axle? That would be one thing to check before you get another axle. If they aren't torqued down hard (145ft/lbs IIRC) they can make all sorts of nasty noises. Barring a loose axle nut though, it looks like the axle is on its way out. Some members here have had rebuilt axles only last a few months.
