cv axle

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I am quite a noob at searching on this site. I figured that there isn't (or hopefully there shouldn't be) a "guess, check, and revise," method for figuring out which snap ring fits on a CV Axle. The time has come to replace the CV Axle with a new OEM one...

I was working on installing new CVs and while installing the flange, it was not going on smoothly, so against my better judgement I decided to tap it on with a rubber mallet to get it to sink the rest of the way, it started to go then stopped part way and began pushing the CV out, I gripped the...

I recently took my LX in for a diagnostic. I got a good deal on it because of the high mileage, the previous owners took care of the engine and timing belt but everything else needs some love. Another positive is that there is zero rust underneath. -steering rack -outer tie rodx2 -upper ball...

Hi there, I recently purchased a 2001 Lexus LX 470. The CV boots are leaky. I’m looking into cvj axles. They seem like the best option for affordability and quality. Im wanting to replace the control arms as well. Does anyone have any resources for both these repairs? videos or part numbers...

Busted front differential or CV Axle? 1) Tried to put it in reverse while rolling forward and heard a clunk. Lost power to wheels immediately. 2) When I lock the center differential, there is power at the wheels (probably back wheels) 3) There is movement on the front drive shaft with the...

Posting here has become a ritual of sorts at this point. 2004 Lexus LX470 is the car in question. So, if you've been following my past few threads, then you'll know I just finished replacing front driver side CV axle with a used one. Well I didn't buy a new c-clip and apparently the C-clip is a...

Posting these is becoming a fun ritual lmao. '04 LX470; took a closer look at the driver side CV axle and I can actually move it with my hand lol. Take a look at the pics and the vid. Is it safe to drive? I showed my dad the extensive damage and we'll try to get a used/refurbished CV axle (and...

Hi, For sale are two sets of OEM Toyota CV Boot kits for FJ100 Land Cruisers and LX470. Part number 04427-60120. I bought in hopes to re-boot my CV's, but they were to far gone. Kit comes with boots, grease and all necessary hardware. They are pretty much brand new, but sadly I waited too long...

Hey IH8mud. First post here so I hope I got it in the right section. I'm on the road with limited time to search old forums so I figured I'd post my question here if ya'll got any advice to give. I'll keep it as short as possible. Got my first LX470 a month ago. A 2001 great condition. Driving...

Just replaced both CV axles with new OEM a couple weeks ago. Clearing out the garage. The drivers side had JUST begun to make the clicking noise when wheel was turned all the way driver at certain slower speeds. So I decided to get both replaced since we had an 800 mile drive ahead of us...

Hi, I’ve done a bit of searching but nothing definitive has popped up other than check loose nuts etc. I put on new front oem Toyota struts in the front the other night and test drove, it was great. Then last night I put on ome 2860 rear springs with new oem Toyota struts in rear and cranked...

One set of used factory upper control arms. One set of OEM used axles, one pictured with red rag needs new outer joint. Set of front and rear factory shocks maybe 15k miles combined- no rear shock hardware. 53mm tough dog Ralph shocks approx 25k miles. 29spline trail gear pinion flange. Random...

Hello, guys Bought a 2006 LX in January in Silver with 174,000 (barely broken in ?) . Shortly after I notice that the RH CV outer boot is missing 1 clamp :doh:. Since I was leaving for a ski trip next day I had some local guys put a new clamp on it only to find out it was torn. They were able...

Last month my brand new Toyota OEM CV axle had it's splines grinded off because of a really bad install. Read all about that fun stuff here: A Harrowing Tale of Incompetence - How I destroyed a steering knuckle Now I am rebuilding the CV axle by replacing the out board shaft. Toyota sells the...
