Subaruby Doo! Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKghandi Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 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.

Subaruby Doo! Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
