Cv joint with less than 5 miles but looks ground up
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by PlumbZ on March 4, 2021
I installed a new cv joint drove less than 5 miles realizing I was sold a bad axel I pulled the new one out and it is ground where it goes into the transmission. Any idea what would cause this?
One Answer
About the only thing that would cause that is the output bearing on your transmission being seized. You should be able to inspect it by sticking your finger in the opening and seeing if you can rotate it. My guess is that it's either totally seized or is so badly damaged that it's nearly that way.
You can see the scoring and galling on the shaft from the friction.
