wentz912 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Make sure to add some extra varnish/clear coat to your shovel handle, especially where you drilled the holes or it will rot out on you in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblewagon Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Also my cv axles have been clicking for awhile what type of axle would you guys recomend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Also my cv axles have been clicking for awhile what type of axle would you guys recomend? EMPI is pretty good, Rockauto has them. I think Thepartsbin.com has them too. You will need a 23 spline axle (25 spline are for Turbo models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblewagon Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 does EMPI not make rear cv axles? rockauto doesnt list them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 does EMPI not make rear cv axles? rockauto doesnt list them Nobody makes rear CV axles, that is why it is best to reboot the ones you have before damaging matter get into the joint and wear out. The dealer might be able to get you some remans, but they are gonna cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblewagon Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 although i guess once there clicking there probably done for:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxleone Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 although i guess once there clicking there probably done for:( Just take them out and switch them to opposite sides. They only wear on the side the force pushes on if you get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I've never really heard rear axles click since they have DOJs on both ends vs a DOJ and CVJ. I bet the clicking is the front. If the rears are indeed clicking at low speeds in the parking lots, I would service them with new boots and grease (Kendall Super-Blu) since rear axles don't usually have a lot of stress on them and don't need to pivot and turn at the same time, they will last.

SmashedGlass Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hey, did it end up really being a rear DOJ that was clicking? I was in the same boat (only didn't have anyone outside the car to tell me for sure or not) on hearing clicking from the rear, but it turned out to be a badly worn rear drive shaft u-joint. Did you check those yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
