This is starting to really get on my nerves:
I recently replaced both of my axles in my car because the boots were leaking and throwing grease everywhere. I got some new ones from NAPA and replaced them. When I was done, they weren't throwing grease anymore, but when I turn left and put power to the wheels, the driver's side suspension pops like the CV joint is bad. So, I went and got another driver's side axle and a new seal or the halfshaft bracket from Honda and redid the driver's side... it still pops.

I made sure to torque down the balljoints to specs and put the keepers in there. The spindle nuts are also torqued to specs.

Could my balljoint have gone bad? It's driving me nuts! :a:

 

not the normal clicking? If it's more of a thunk, gotta be the ball joint... popping?

 

Ya, I guess you could say it's a thunking. Sounds just like a CV Joint.

 

i know this is going to be stupid but are you sure they are in correctly?

 

Positive! I did them twice, but that's for checking.

Is there really a wrong way to do it if you can get them in there?

 

sometimes one may not be AAAAALLLLLLLL the way in...

 

all the way in the tranny?

 

yeah.

 

Ya, they are for sure.

 

Wheel bearings......


And crucial, what the hell are you talking about?


If you wanna check to see if it's your bearing. take the axel out of the hub. And sping it freely with you hand. Look for how smooth it turns.

I just did both of my front bearings. Both hubs were ****ed cause of the bearings. So I put on new hubs too.
