Time for new CV and flange? (1 Viewer)

[TX_TLC]

Background, 2004 LX470 212,XXX miles. Bearings repacked with new rotors last year and CVs and flanged looked great. Last Saturday exiting the highway started hard pull to the left and sounded like a flat tire.

Pulled over and tire was fine. Jacked it up and the wheel bearing was for sure loose. I took it down yesterday morning and here’s what I’ve discovered. Wondering if it time to pull the trigger on new CV and flange while I’m in here.

And this was waiting for me under the dust cap.

The wear looks pretty bad on both, I'd bite the bullet and replace them. And while you're in there... I think you need at least one new wheel flange stud.

Yup, I’d replace.

Good eye. Yeah I could tell that as soon as I backed that first but off.
