LOST JEEPS :: View topic - new CV and inner shaft

HOw has done it before on drivers side?

How much is the new CV and inner shaft for both sides?

is it easy but time worthy to do?

I think my drivers CV is hosed. After my front drive shaft was replaced the other day, I now developed a strange noise from the drivers side wheel. I can only hear it from inside of the rig and hear it most at 10 mph and lower. Stopping speeds and at take off.

You think its a CV?
I was under the KJ last night but i did not see anythig out of the ordinary. Took wheel off spun the rotor and did not really hear it but I suspect a little metal to metal sound. not 100% sure but it was something

Jack the Jeep up and check for play in the bearings. I like to take the rotors off so I can turn the bearings by hand and feel them.

CV's will usually click alot when you turn.

The time it took you to put just the front of the Frankinlift on,then add about 20min per side,is the lentgh of time to replace the CV shafts.About 2 hours for me,not hard at all,just kinda sucks you need to remove the strut/coil(makes it easier) and remove the knuckle completely.

Yea I was thinking the whole thing had to come apart. It will be like redoing my lift. Hey tjkj2002 You seem to know a ton of CRAP here. I was wondering, could it just be my wheel bearing going bad? The noise I get is only from a slow start and a slow stop between 5-10mph and then again I will here a noise and a slight vibration at 60-75 mph. When I turn the wheel both directions, I do not hear anything. No knocking, clicking, grinding.
