I just ordered and received a used set of OEM front axles for my A6, and I was curious - how much slop is acceptable in the inner and outer joints? Keep in mind, after I install the S6 engine parts, I may make a habit of drag racing this car. C5 tech, write-ups, photos, and help.

Buy my car! I'm of 0 help to you in regards to your original question Originally Posted by redneck truck. Usually None. I can understand that after using them there may be some wear in one position, however they should be virtually slop free. Take them apart and see how they are made, they should not have wear. With wear they should feel notchy when moved. Anyone else? Sit Down, take a look at it, take it apart, and FIX it! I just installed brand new OEM axles in the front of my car from raxles.

The old ones that had no rips and still visually looked great were very flimsy and loose. The new ones made a huge difference. Don't think I understand what you mean by stiff. It took a lot of effort to move them in normal directions?

When you say the new ones made a huge difference, what do you mean? How can you tell? New shafts should be tight and not show any free play for many many thousands of miles.

The outers were cleaned, repacked, and rebooted, and they have no slop now, though they are not difficult to move. The inner joints show little if any free play and, though they need to be cleaned and repacked, I do not have time.

The movement feels like what I could either describe as notchy or tight, not sure which. I think I'll be ok, and for the price, I'll deal. Still researching the prospect of converting to equal length front shafts to increase my options s4 long shafts, a6 short shafts , as well as m joints. What do you mean slop? Slop in what range of motion? Let's call it rotational slop. The concerning kind. Think putting a 17mm socket on a 16mm bolt head - that kind of slop. Only nowhere near that magnitude - probably 1 degree of rotation at most.

That's a really good idea! Does that mean the wear is in the races and not in the balls themselves? This would be a lot easier if I had equal-length axle shafts and could just swap axles from side to side see separate thread for more on this idea.

I found some M inner Porsche joints. Not sure if they are a direct swap. Does anyone make a tougher outer joints? Bookmarks Bookmarks Digg del. All times are GMT The time now is AM. Audizine is not endorsed by or affiliated with Audi AG.



Drive shaft movement normal?

View First Unread. Is there anything in the assembly of the GX or V8 4runner Front Differential that can cause play where the CV inserts into the differential? I am experiencing vibrations under load and turning left under load on the driver side. After replacing nearly everything this is the only possibility that is left. I have been chasing this issue for a long time now and no luck solving it.

We had to take apart the whole front diff and replace parts in there it was so stripped. I hope this one I'm doing now isn't that bad. Green

Q: Should there be any play on the CV shaft where it goes into the transmission?

Our Address. Kings Mills, OH This topic contains 4 replies, has 4 voices, and was last updated by EricTheCarGuy 8 years, 3 months ago. I was wondering how much play is supposed to be in any on the inner joint of the cv axle. I can move it freely with my hand but it springs back into relative place after, is that normal or does it sound worn? The cv axles are off a 95 dx civic. Since i do not have new ones to compare against I am nit sure. If you mean the in and out play, once the little snap circlip has kinda latched the shaft in place, in theory, quite a bit of play is okay.

5 Symptoms of a Bad CV Joint (and Replacement Cost)

The driveshaft is a steel or aluminum cylindrical component that connects the transmission to the rear differential. The driveshaft connects to the transmission through the CV joints, which are responsible for transferring the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed. Front wheel drive vehicles use CV joints on the front axles. CV joints allow the axle to bend and change while accommodating the bounce of the wheels. The axle bears the weight of the vehicle while also being strong enough to sustain the forces from braking and accelerating. Clunking or clicking noises are signs that a CV joint needs replacement.

I'm hearing what sounds like a bad CV shaft or bearing on the input into the transmission.
