aarang Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Well, I was cleaning up my rear control arms and burning out the old rubber bushings so I could install the poly bushings, when I noticed that the inside flange( the one that bolts to the CV shaft) on the driver side control arm wabbled a little. It looks like the nut has never been off, or even the CV shaft for that matter ( before I took it off), as the inside of the flange was perfectly clean. The nut is still peened onto the shaft. Should I just try to tighten the nut, or should I disassemble the axle to investigate things further? Has anyone else experienced this before? I am hoping I don't have to disassemble it which would basically mean replacing the bearings. If there is movement on the shaft, is it possible the splines are worn, also?

jeffp Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I noticed my flange on the passenger side was lose. there was no play in the stub but the flange was lose. I tightened the nut and sure enough it was lose. I dont think it was ever tightened down from the factory. I did replace the flange just to be sure. So try to tighten it down and see how it feels.
