mikeshoup Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 So, I noticed a couple days ago that when I accelerate, the steering wheel jerks back and forth. When I let my foot off the gas, the jerking reduces, almost going away completely. Today driving to work (which is about 40 miles), the jerking started getting really really bad, then it died down. My thoughts, a CV joint is bad, like really bad. Am I correct on this? what else could it be? (this is on my 94 Loyale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdjdc Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 you have an inner cv going bad. Replace the axle and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbobdole Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Update on this: We replaced both front axles tonight with new units. Both the outer boots were torn and the right side joint was dry and getting purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88RxTuner Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I would have said an OUTER joint was going bad... cause my RX was doing the same thing, until tonight, when the outer joint GRENADED all over the place while I was wheeling it. Not that I wasn't expecting it. Hope your new axles fixed it!! 88RXTuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdjdc Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 mike ur alive where the heck have you been I moved into the realm of an outback owner. Actually two outbacks. Got them for 500.00 each and fixed them up. Great cars. My daughter is getting ready to drive, so we are in the process fo building her an old gen ea82 wagon. She wants something she can bury in the mud and have fun with. For right now, I'm still around and lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
