cv shaft joint
Just got my first svx and let me tell you what a car ! My only problem is it sounds like a cb joint is bad but i checked all four and they all look and fill good . Am.I missing something ? It does it when turning and in a straight line . I really love this car . It's a 92 lsl pearl white.

Re: cv shaft joint
Yea inner and outer boots are fine . Now I know just because they look good doesn't mean that they are. Is there anything in the the drive line from trans to rear diff that could be going bad ? It's almost like its slipping .

Re: cv shaft joint
If the axles are clicking while driving straight I would replace them really, really soon cause they are going to end up completely broke.

Re: cv shaft joint
I just bought 2 of them from Auto zone about 3 months ago and have had no problems. Got 2 for $120 plus $80 core that I got back. I would just do them both as they aren't that expensive, just keep your dust caps cause new axles don't come with it.

Re: cv shaft joint
Cool now to figure out if its the front or the rear . Is there anything that could be in the drive line it self ? Cuz I haven't been able to get under the car to take a really good look yet.

Re: cv shaft joint
put in the front wheel drive fuse to see if anything changes. it's in the fuse box under the hood.

Re: cv shaft joint
yes there is a fuse location in the under hood fuse box labeled FWD. put one of the spare fuses into the location and it will enable front wheel drive mode and indicated fwd on the dash. this will help to narrow down your problem to front or rear.

Re: cv shaft joint
So not to sound stupid when this fuse is installed it disables the rear ?

Re: cv shaft joint
yup. it will make it only fwd so the rear will spin but not be driven by the transmission. you don't want to drive really far in this mode but it is fine for testing purposes.

Re: cv shaft joint
Well I did the fuse in the fwd trick to figure out if its either the front or rear cv joints are bad and its deffently the rear . Thank you 92 snowmachine. Now is it possible that it could be the rear diff ? Cuz like all I don't want to just through money at it when its in short supply .

Re: cv shaft joint
What noises/symptoms are you getting??? I've never seen a rear axle fail on any subaru or heard of one being bad. I think this should have probably been asked earlier on.
