Cv Joint Snapped Off Again In 12 Months


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can somebody help me out please?

I have a 94'Celica 2.0 Import from Japan (ST202 3S-GE) with 18" alloys and lowered coilover suspension. (had for nearly 3yrs now).

My CV joint has snapped off for the SECOND time in the last 12 months, inside the wheel just past the nut and split pin.

I've been trying to find out why it's done it again, and how I can prevent this from happening.

Is it because my geometry could be out on my driveshaft due to the 18" alloys & coilovers.

Can anyone tell me how to prevent this from snapping off again.

Thanks,

Ronnie

[this has hapened twice, always on full left hand down lock ie turning to the left. Recently purchased a re-conditioned outer cv joint from Barums in Tiverton. Problem is now solved, guess its metal fatigue due to the high stress when you turn full lock. Hope thats answered your problem. Sebstermw
