| Post subject: | CV Joint Question. |
I recently lifted my 2002 jeep liberty and I now have, what I think is a problem with my CV Joint on the drivers side. It has about 112k miles on it so I am not sure if this is a common issue with liberty's after so many miles or not or if it is because of the lift. My question is that if I replace the CV joint will it last a while longer or break again? Also is there a part I can put on to prevent this from happening? Thanks, I have a V6 Jeep liberty 2002, 3" suspension lift. |

More than likely worn out if that is the problem. Its a wear item so some last 75,000, some more. As far as being lifted mines been for over 165,000 miles, had 20,000 when I lifted and just swapped out the OE CV on the drivers side about 1000 miles ago If it is the CV replace with a remanned unit from NAPA What type of issues or noises etc are you having? |

The only issues I am having is a very loud crunching noise like the one in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0N-d8RcsKw, it sounds very bad and it gets louder the faster you go, I don't feel safe driving with it. That is the only real issue so far. Thanks for the NAPA recommendation I will be sure to do that if a bad CV joint is the case. |

Check the rear boot on the front driveshaft also boot goes bad, bearings dry up and make noise when they go cheap fix as well |
