CV Axle Replacement [2002 Mitsubishi Lancer]

[@gaetanobondi5711]

For anyone who has issues removing the shaft. I was at mine for close to a half hour. Finally I came up with the idea to lightly tap the top of it with my 4lbs sledge and pry from the bottom. And popped right out.

Finely someone who is confident, thorough, and doesn't trail off on useless bull shit as if they were on crack. Very nice how to video man, Helped me out a lot definitely going to subscribe!!

+Hank Warren Thanks for the comment and the subscribe! I appreciate your views!

[@keirycallejas3125]

Another tip for you guys when taking axles off the tranny or anything like it is that you use a flathead screwdriver and you put a wrench on the shaft of the screwdriver so that when you turn the wrench, it causes the tip of the driver to open the axle. Simple change of linear motion to angular.

I actually Pulled it off!!! Not only that but it actually fixed the problem I diagnosed. (car shaking only at highway speeds and only when accelerating- bad inner CV joint) Thanks a lot for the video Matt! For anyone who needs them................ TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS- Top Strut bolt 33 ft/lbs +/-3 ft/lbs Bottom Strut bolt 123 ft/lbs +/- 7 ft/lbs Axle Nut 181 ft/lbs +/- 21 ft/lbs. At least that's what my research turned up. Thanks again.

+crzywitboy3 Awesome! Great work!

[@randallcastillo9667]

Soy de panamá tengo un lancer 2002 Oz Rally , y me ahn servido muchísimos tus videos me gustaría ver mas videos sobre mecánica de este auto

[@neuroticgecko6642]

Awesome job! I need to replace mine and you made this video very informative. I'm a pretty handy guy so I should be able to do this myself LOL. Thanks for the awesome reference video!

[@stevejanejamesjassteph5903]

Great vid mate! Straight forward & to the point, boom boom

[@tackle_box5902]

Great stuff Matt. I have a 03 Mitsu outlander but I am confident it's going to be very similar. And now I have an idea of how I will be doing this today.

[@MeineEhreheisstTreu1]

Awesome video Matt! I really enjoy your videos, they've certainly taught me a lot! Keep up the great work!!

[@MattsMotorz]

Thanks a lot!!

[@JenGM24]

I have to do this on my 01 galant and cousin 02 Lancer i think these two cars share the same built body so it should be almost the same process if im not mistaken right?

[@kevinheil7128]

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME

[@scottyj871]

thanks man ive got a 2002 oz rally BIG help

[@slipknotie]

You are my most favorite!

[@MattsMotorz]

Thanks! :D

[@sugartart21]

thank you for sharing! quick question - what tool names are you using? thank you!

[@jonathongartmann6202]

Hey Matt I have a quick question do u have to use the old teams fluid or can I use new fluid? Great video by the way it was by far the best automotive tutorial I have seen!

[@MattsMotorz]

+Jonathon Gartmann You can absolutely use the old fluid as long as no dirt or anything got into it.

[@joeyjessie1001]

Thanks man, Great Video...Snapped my fucking axle riding to work

[@jmkc1964]

Very helpful thank you

[@jmkc1964]

Do you need wheel alignment after that? Thank you

[@1ARCTICEAGLE1]

Do your tierods not have cotter pins on them?

[@michaelserrano7097]

That's a lot of trans fluid, the seal was bad too?

[@guintoramcesv.9675]

Sir why does my car shift but wont move at all even in reverse. When im not stepping on the clutch there are some weird rolling noise which is I think from the CV axle or from the boot part. My speedo reads some speed when im not pressing the clutch and coming back to as I press the clutch and the weird noises gone as I press in the clutch. What possible problem of my car sir? It is a Mitsubishi Lancer 97" with a Manual Transmission on it. Hope you answer sir. Thanks a lot!

[@jjenson2006]

...but you didn't use anti-seize on the axle spline.

[@اميرالصحراء-ص5ذ]

Very nice thank you

[@crzywitboy3]

Thanks for the video man! So is it the same process to do the other side?? I have a 2002 Lancer LS and it is vibrating bad but only when I accelerate or the car is under load (going up hills) while I am driving on the highway (60-80mph.) From searching around online it sounds like the inner CV joint (which does have a bunch of grease around it.) I hear no clicking or anything like that at low speeds and the outer boots look fine. But I figured I might as well just do both sides since I can get them both for less than $120 and while it didn't exactly look easy you did make it look pretty simple to do. So I think I might give it a shot. Thanks Again! *SUBSCRIBED AND *LIKED.

[@MattsMotorz]

+crzywitboy3 Thanks for the subscription! It should be the same for the other side. It may differ very slightly as many times one axle is longer than the other one, but I don't know for sure with this car. Good luck!

[@crzywitboy3]

+MattsMotorz Do you know anything about the torque specs for the tie rod end and the strut bolts?

[@MattsMotorz]

I don't have them on hand unfortunately. I usually just make sure they are good and tight and it has served me well.

[@uniquesuby03duffman65]

Isnt the correct way to check the auto transmission fluid is with the car running and preferably hot...??.otherwise it may be incorrect..

[@JoeHouston86]

Has anyone ever told you that you sound a lot like Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller)?

[@TJLAZER-wn2wf]

He really does! Lol

[@philliphansen7060]

what size is the axle nut

[@johnnylobos50]

not too much piss ha nice

[@josebello5088]

hey matt what size did yu use to take tha axel nut off?

[@MattsMotorz]

+jose bello Damn I can't remember. I think it was 30 mm.

[@karanash9415]

+MattsMotorz 32mm

[@michaelthomas788]

I'm a mechanic by trade and we don't do it like that we stick a punch in the rotor and pin it to the caliper for removing and installing axle nut

[@pauldahlke4921]

NEVER REUSE old tranny fluid that's taking a chance(dirt).Did it get a alignment after? Doing it the way you did it could add or subtracted up to 3 tenths of a degree on camber. That in my eyes will wear tires.

[@adriantrevo5892]

I wouldn’t use the impact on the axle nut I think it can damage it

[@slipknotie]

It should be the same for my 96 eclipse, right? I have to do it myself : / I can't mess it up too bad can I? Lol -Nikki

[@MattsMotorz]

It might not be. 96 may be a bit too far off from a 2002. But I honestly do not know for sure. At the very least, it will be pretty similar. You should be able to figure it out.

[@slipknotie]

Thanks!

[@jasonbourne2914]

Thanks

[@chrisyeary9874]

who else thinks this guy sounds like Matthew Broderick

[@Bossrich6287]

i got a 2001 mirage,i'm sure it''s the same.

[@hosamali1585]

Very very nice thank you
