Is there a shaft for the passenger side?
Hence the clunking noise and vibrations felt in the steering for awhile. The problem is that you can’t buy a passenger side shaft for 2012 and up front differentials (don’t be fooled by CarID, who offer a driver and passenger side, which are exactly the same item from them and definitely NOT the correct part for the passenger side.
Where is the stub shaft on a Dodge Ram?
Unlike the driver side stub shaft, which you can just pull out with a few taps of a rubber mallet to help, the passenger side is retained in the housing with an internal snap ring that rides against a bearing mounted on the shaft. To get it out, you have to remove the passenger side housing and 4×4 locker to get it out.
Can a CV axle be removed from a stub shaft?
Assuming that you can remove the CV axle, and the stub shaft stays attached to the axle (it has the two times I’ve done it on my car), then you shouldn’t need any special tools to remove and replace the large main seal that is pressed into the case.
Where does the cv shaft go on a BMW X5?
The CV axle is a shaft that has two constant velocity joints at either end of it. One end comes out of the transmission, the other end mounts in the wheel hub. The two joints let the axle continue to spin as the suspension travels up and down and you steer the car. An fwd car will have one for both the passenger side and driver’s side.

Why does my car boot keep splitting open?
A rubber “boot” covers the entire joint and protects it from dirt, debris, and moisture, while holding in the grease that lubricates the ball bearings. Over time, since it’s just rubber, the boot becomes brittle and dry. Eventually it will split open and allow specks of dirt and debris to enter the joint.
Why is the drivers side wheel so hard to turn?
The passenger side inner and outer tie rods where replaced last october, and the drivers side ones are original. My two biggest questions are: 1) why is the drivers side wheel so hard to turn? 2) what is causing the braking vibrations? Could my caliper be bad? Tie rods worn? A combination?
Why does my front wheel turn when I turn the transfer case?
As far as the wheels turning, it’s because you have an open differential. I’d bet when you turn the driver’s side wheel, you’ll notice the shaft turn between the front diff and the transfer case, the passenger side is just spinning the half shaft between the diff and the wheel and not the shaft between the front diff and the transfer case.
What does it mean when steering rack does not move?
My steering rack does not move when the wheel is pulled back and forth, but when I push/pull side to side on the wheel there is play. I jacked up the front drivers side, and the wheel on that side is extremely difficult to spin. It doesn’t sound like anything is dragging, it’s just very tough to move it.
Why does my front wheel turn without the differential?
If you jack the truck up, there shouldn’t be play in the wheel. The wheel assembly shouldn’t move without the truck. As far as the wheels turning, it’s because you have an open differential.
