tranny/cv/diff failure?



its time for new cv's. when you get excessive wear, the cages will stay off
center and stick there, causing the ovv-center thing you're talking about. it
was also probably the cause of your original 'pop' that you got. may have even
broken a cage and its still together by sheer luck.

looks odd. the inner cv joint on both sides seem to move up and down as it
rotates, like if you look at it from the bottom you can see there is more room
between the centre and the outside edge almost as if it wasnt mounted directly
in the centre?? i checked for play and the only play i can get is barely
noticable in/out movement on the passenger side.

halfshafts meet the joint they are moving with the same up/down motion relative
to the rotation as the inner.
