Front half axle


Recommended Posts

I have replaced the right side half axle on my 86 Brat twice in 3000 miles. Am thinking that the splines on the out put of my trans are worn and are cause of a loose fit to new half shaft, then with use and wiggeling may prematurely wear splines on half shat and result in breakdown of u joint. Any ideal out there? Adrian

Well, never say never, but I would be more inclined to believe that if the output splines were excessively worn it would be eating the weakest part, the roll pin, no?

 

I *think* we should try to be more specific here, each "half shaft" has 2 CV joints, an inner and an outer. Is it blowing up the CV joint, or just tearing the boot. Inner, or outer? What condition are your motor mounts in? Where did you get replacement parts from?
