CV Joint Axle question
CV Joint Axle question
Hey everyone, I've had this nagging problem when I step on it the car seems like the engine just lets go. At first I thought it was the clutch, but after I replaced it, it still does it. I think it is my CV joints or something being worn out or loose. The car runs fine in lower rpms but if you try opening her up, it just lets go and feels like only 1/3 of the power is getting to the wheels. I don't think it's a transmission problem, but now I have an issue: Replace axles or rebuild CV joints? What are my options there? Suggestions?
Cars I've been through:
1989 Toyota Supra Turbo (still have it, non-running)
1994 Acura Integra (wrecked)
1994 Chrysler New Yorker (still have it, mom's now)
1990 Honda Civic AWD Wagon (stolen)
1998 Honda Civic LX (stolen)
1994 Nissan Pickup (bought from uncle, sold back to him)
2001 Dodge Neon R/T (wrecked)
1998 Lexus GS300 (current)
1999 BMW 528i Sport (current)

Can't really answer you question but if you suspect it's your CV joint you may as well replace the axles with the ones Dark-One is selling.

Killer deal and probably cheaper than a rebuild. New axles are about $350 MSRP each.
