cv

I just bought this stuff thinking it would be grey in colour but it's brown. Can i use this to pack the birf and housing? Has anyone used this before? Does the colour matter?

Hello everyone, I took my 2002 LX470 to the shop last week to replace the CV axles as they were worn-out. After replacing with TRAKMOTIVE from Rockauto.com, a strong vibration started. The shop mounted NAPA ones, same thing, rebuild and balanced the front shaft, still there. Removed the...

I have a lifted 07 limited sequoia and need to replace my inner cv boots. I was going to go with a high angle cv boot but wanted to see if anyone could reccommend a brand or is it best to stick with oem? Thx.

Hello all, Opening this up to the forum. I have another torn CV boot. Second one this year. Do I need to keep these on hand after each trip out to the mountains? Curious if there is a better, stronger boot out there that might last a little bit longer after being hit by rocks on shelf...

Hi all, First post from a new member. New to me 2006 GX470 cv axle has a loose connection at the input to the front differential. I had thought this would be an opportunity to upgrade to a bushing but a bit a question to ECGS revealed to me that these rigs do not use the pesky needle...

Hey I noticed when parking at full lock, at a weird angle on a hill today that my Tire looked super weird, off camber a lot etc. Anyway I looked inside and saw the CV looked like it was popping out, and there's also a leak or something. Planning to replace the CV probably, but wondering if I...

Need some advice, idea's, inputs. Only month ago, my car has 2 new cv's installed and new wheel bearings. Every time I steer to the right, it makes that clicking noise on the front right. Just came back from the CV specialist and he test drove my car. He said it sound like cv joint, but it...

Today I took my reman axles and rebooted them due to my lift. I've done both the inner and outer sides and now I'm concerned I did not do the outer correctly. I placed the outer boot in the exact same spot as the original, but the wide opening section that goes over the outer joint casing is...

Hi all, Trying to isolate a noise, my mechanic doesn’t think it’s a bad cv. Truck is a 2011 LX570 with 194k miles What has changed in the last 3 days? - replaced inner and outer tie rods - oem - truck was just aligned - truck just went 4wheeling What’s the noise and when does it...

What kind of grease (if any) do you use here?

First, I read through a bunch of older threads, but still had some questions. I picked up a 05, 470 with 200k miles. All four boots are ripped. The inner boot passenger side is basically completely separated and has no grease left in it. In choosing not to reboot, but instead install need CV...

It looks like I tore my passenger upper cv boot yesterday. It flung out a bunch of grease. It’s torn at the small end first bellow. I’m tempted to clean it as best I can and wrap gorilla tape around it to try to keep grease in. It is driving fine with no clicking/issues. Any other ideas? Salida...

We have 84k miles on our 2006 LC. The dealer says the front CV boots are leaking (I can see grease all over the axles), axle looks good. Local shop says axles are so cheap now, that we should also replace them too (since there MAY be damage). We don't do any off-road driving, if that matters.

Hey all, well the time has come to replace my front CVs, shortly after the install of the Dobbinson lift both boots ripped. I will say I’m not totally contributing it to the lift as they look relatively worn, but it certainly is suspicious. For reference I installed the 2.5 with control arms...

I’ve got two CV axles that I took off of my 2000 LX 470 with 216,000 miles I don’t know if these are OEM. One good axle and the other axle from passenger side has a torn boot Local pickup please. $25 each

Hi y'all, Figured I'd share some lessons learned on disconnecting the CV axle "the easy way" and re-visit some previously discussed CV stuff. I was leaking gear oil out of the passenger side diff, so I went in to replace the diff seal. I followed the advice of "chowcares" on YouTube in the...

Help a buddy replace his CV’s. He left me his old OEM ones. 225k on them both inner boots were torn. The passenger side joint came apart but all the parts are there. I am not sure what they are worth but I know taco/4R guys are always looking for spares or parts for LT axles. $45 each obo plus...

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...

I just did the Tundra-parts long travel suspension thing to my wife's new 200, and had ARB bumpers fitted, so have a bunch of virtually new parts we don't need anymore. I'm going to individually list the suspension parts below with prices (figure a reasonable formula is half what these list for...

Hey Mud, I finally had some time today to get under the truck and think I have pinpointed my "clunk" caused by going over small bumps and cracks. After poking and prodding around I discovered that there is a substantial amount of "in and out" lateral movement where my passenger side axle meets...
