A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications. This video shows you how to install one in your 2002-2009 Dodge Ram 1500.

Hey i was wondering do i need to replace the bearing or can i use the same one?

[@randyb3347]

Excellent, thank you! The only difference between the way you do it and the way I do it is that I spend a half of a day fiddly futzing around trying to get the rusty bolts off! (It may seem petty but a quick reference to the socket size needed to turn those nut/bolts off would have been helpful to your viewers).

[@seanbryers29]

Awesome video very straight and informative and the torque is a huge bonus

[@THEDUDE771000]

Best video I've seen no "bs" just straight up and to the point!

[@austinenstad4215]

A few loving bonks 🤣 I love it

[@beavermash]

Followed the video to the T and job complete. looking forward to doing the drivers side next!!

[@jayowen1614]

So many likes and thumbs up to this video and the replacing the lower control arm video. Saved me a ton of $$$.

[@jcb355]

Excellent video and instruction. Might be the best auto vid I've ever seen on YT! 👍

[@danielquiroz8294]

So how did you take off the intermediate axle from the old axle? You never showed it in the video, or did the new one come with a new intermediate axle

[@casualobserver4810]

Great video of this. If your seals leaking, dollars to donuts the stub shaft bearing is wore out. I couldn’t get mine separated either…off to the rainforest.

[@lucasv3825]

Couple loving bumps. I will be stealing that phrase. Thank you.

[@benhobe]

Excellent! Frustrating that I can't get my parts all in one place though. Found the axle seal at Oreilly's thankfully - no one else stocks it.

[@zoolo919]

Thx a lot man....really informative...short practical video

[@edwinvaltierra8677]

question did you empty the diff before removing the intermidiate shaft ?

[@gregoiregagnon8962]

Is it the same for 2010?

[@WS1_AUTOS_N_STUFF]

Mines got 4 holes on the seal and my intermediate shaft is different making it hard to just replace the bearing? I guess I’ll check to see if this a. Updated version but its on a 06 1500 bighorn 🤷🏽

[@stevesmith-zf8dp]

Very nice, i have an 08 4.7. Ill be following this when im fixing mine bc i have leakage coming from the seal. Doesnt seem to bad. Might need to buy a few tools for the job though.

[@rjsullivan4523]

is the axle nut torque actually 185? Ive seen 185, 225, and 263 online. I have a 2010 ram 1500 SLT 5.7L

[@firearmsfreedomcanada7169]

Great video. Thanks for the torque specs too. I've been trying to find the Mopar torque specs for my 2010 ram but haven't seen anything on their website.

[@justinciccone084]

What about the snap ring ???

[@whyu2881]

Another missing piece of the puzzle.

[@fusonbradly]

this isnt the same as a 02 to 05

[@Daybyday07]

This is exactly what I need done to my truck in the Nyc any mechanics, please let me know. Dealer charges way too much for this. That seem around. The CV axle and intermediate shaft. mines is not there it’s leaking.

[@Random-qj3em]

What’s the size of the axle nut

[@robertkennedy8475]

So I just replaced mine and the cv Axl is leaking where the seal goes I used the old seal bc i couldn't find one in time is that most likely the problem

[@justinshelton179]

What’s the seal called that goes on the diff by chance my entire assembly is gone and I need it asap

[@Disfigney]

Does this come with the bearing race???

[@user-nm2ib4jx2j]

Where did you get that seal in the video? I can't find one.

[@rocky12364]

Great video thanks

[@trentcourtney1236]

I am going to help a friend replace his front diff and cv shafts on his dodge , I drive a Chevy and to my understanding they are slightly different set ups before I order the parts needed I need a better understanding of what Is what, In your video it shows the stub shaft being put back into the diff as a separate part from the cv shaft but when it was pulled it was attatched Is the stub shaft a separate part that would need to be ordered aswell or does it come with the cv axles? Thank you

[@chrisbrittanyabiandemispro950]

I noticed the same thing on my dodge. I thought it was supposed to be all one part.

[@SpareMag]

Nice man. Thank you.

[@Disfigney]

What kind of seal did you use???

[@nathancepeda7407]

My 1500 doesnt have this. My axle is stuck and i cant get it out. Idk what to do.

[@tomdog266]

What the part # for the bearing race thing please

[@jonhenderson9006]

So where do I buy the bearing race??? Someone please help

[@miguelacosta4509]

what is that square shield called ? the one with the 4 bolts holding it on. ?? i need to replace mine but i can't find anywhere where it's for sale.

That is another MYSTERY in your search for parts.

[@thedripdrop9826]

SERIOUSLY!!! I cant find this information anywhere

[@devoworsha8117]

My 04 5.7 doesn't look like that

[@nathancepeda7407]

The seal with the four screws where it connects to the tranny. No bearing or any of that

[@bradleycrenshaw6778]

quick question does the seal kit and race come with the axel or is that a separate part number and if yes could you share it please? Thank you for this video

[@whyu2881]

Yeah, I have seen where the SEAL & the RACE are not included on TRQ products. Totally leaving your project hanging in the wind while you need to order more parts that are NOT LISTED when you order. 😡🤬😡🤬

[@dioncrookedneck4125]

So an 2009 is different?

[@donpike13]

top danke - so weiss ich was auf mich zu kommt top

[@vincewolgamott822]

This is not accurate for an 08 dodge Ram 1500. Unless it’s the difference in parts. I bought a Dorman stub shaft. The stub shaft I bought comes with what looks like a sealed bearing. No bearing race. And the cog gear looks completely different from what’s shown in this video. Nothing online matches what’s shown in this video. Exploded parts diagrams do not show any bearing race.

[@cornfusedatbest6693]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you weren't supposed to use petroleum jelly on todays rubber seals?

[@whyu2881]

Awe SHIT Moment at 3:12 and forward. This video completely SKIPS the short "Inner Shaft" for the CV Axle on this FRONT RIGHT SIDE. Leaving you hanging with no path to really get the project properly finished UNLESS you watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoOyoYR_lryFhpY where it describes the process (on the other side of the truck). Yeah, TRQ (they) left you hanging. 😜 good thing there's another video to get it done.
