Review on Cardone 66-4207 ๐Ÿ”ง CV Axle - Brand New by Elvis Kimbro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2005 Honda CRV runs perfectly

The symptoms I had were stopping or hard acceleration, there was serious hesitation like a bent wheel or a bad torque converter. Strangely, it felt stronger on the driver's side. When accelerating to 40 or more, there was no vibration at all. I took my car to a transmission shop and they said they thought I needed new CV axles. First I swapped the driver's side, but I didn't notice any difference. When I replaced the passenger side all vibration and chatter/jiggling was gone! One notable caveat: it was difficult to separate the original factory axle from the countershaft. I used a big punch and a big hammer. It was some time before they dispersed. I suspect it would be easier with a reverse hammer and an axle puller bit (OEMTOOLS 27058). I just didn't have the tool at the time. I bought there. There is a video on Youtube showing the stamping method at CRV. I found it a lot harder than it looks in the video.

Pros
