Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

Report back: car is back running. Thanks for help me learn. Update: parts arrived so I worked on it yesterday and today. CV joint cleaned a little bit, 7oz grease filled, supported with the wheel on ground and a box. Put back, carefully felt the groove and clamped on. Supported it with jack stand. S...

Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

Today is a good day and I started unbolting the stuff. Almost done except for the 18mm bolt on outer tie rod. I don't have such a socket or wrench. Maybe an open wrench could do. Will try later. The caliper bolts are weird 7mm Allen female head. I have a set of Allen wrenches but only 6mm, 8mm. So I...

Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

Chances are that my axle probably still works? I see the clamp ring on inner CV boot slipped off and the joint is separated. Got suggestion from folks at swdespeed.com. It is like following and just need to stick it in together and clamp on the boot and it should work? Then I don't need to remove fr...

Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

D... I may still need to weld the ball joint. While the whole wheel hub is moving around I can't even unbolt the brake caliper. :( Will hammering on caliper bracket bolts damage the stretched strut?

Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

Thanks FLXC90! Great help with the row52 info. I plan to get help from a puller. I've been to the pick-n-pull yard before but they are familiar and know how to work safely there. The idea to get wheel hub all together is great. I am already worried about how to separate the steering knuckle from whe...

Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

If I DIY it, I plan to get parts online from ipdusa or even rockauto. Part cost probably is not a big amount. Tight bolts are my main concern. I don't have an air impact wrench. And it is hard to extend wrench arm underneath the car. I don't know how hard to separate wheel hub from the steering knuc...

Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

From what I can see, the subframe doesn't seem to be affected. And seems I can still use the bolt and snap-in bracket to put the fender back in place. Looks easier now?

But the wheel arch linen were bolted by plastic pivots. Not sure how to re-do it properly.

Re: Hit curb and CV axle broken. Time to junk it?

The fender panel is still Ok but it is torn off from fasten bolts. Also the pinch bracket on steering knuckle is cracked open and need to be replaced. Still not sure about wheel hub. It is fixable but maybe not for me. I did the struts 3 years ago but now feel not as strong as before, and less willi...
