95 Intrepid CVC problem - 6/11/2005 10:28:15 AM    AirwingHMA   Posts: 3 Joined: 6/10/2005 Status: offline Greetings; I have a 95 intrepid that started shaking in the front left side. Dudes at work mentioned that it's the CVC joint and to replace the whole shaft. The wheel is tight lug nut wise and I cannot see anything else loose in the front end. When driving it will start when I acelerate and if I sterr to the left it will stop for a few but will start again. If I drive in a circle it will not do it. I would have no problem with the shaft replacement skill wise but just want to be sure about it due to funds. Also due to funds I cannot take it in to a mech at this time. Any help would be great. Scott I posted this in the general tech forum I just saw this one. Post #: 1

I bad joint WILL make a chatter, clicking noise when you turn the wheel sharp, not going stright ahead and can have no other signs of wear. However the boots can rupture and let greese out and water in in which case the joint will fail if not corected. Also i've work with a fair amount of theese cars and in the pest few years with high km. and i can only remember 1 cv shaft joint that i have changed. id look at your wheel bearing, tires, etc before buying. hope this helps, kim < Message edited by tchase -- 8/29/2005 5:45:12 PM > _____________________________ Tony Chase '97 DOHC 5spd Neon Expresso '91 Jeep Cherokee Laredo (in reply to hemipower1984) Post #: 4
