I have this sort of weird noise comming from my front end. I've narrowed it down to the front driveline as the only possible culprit.
The question I have, is in the CV joint here, I am able to sort of pull the U-Joint away from the piece that is directly behind it, causing a small gap. Is that supposed to be like that?
You can see it in this pic. I put some red arrows in there, they didn't turn out all that great, but you get the idea.
In this photo, you can see where I pused the two back together closing the gap.
This pic is just with the CV rotated a bit. My U-Joint is not centered, but I just did that on accident, it will go back to center.
The pinion end U-Joint seems to be fine.
The CV joint is REALLY loose, and has lots of play in it. It's like it's real limp almost. Plus there's that gap, that I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that or not. Plus that rubber stuff in there is all cracked and worn. I was thinking of having that whole CV overhauled.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys.
