[@harbingertheheretic3541]

If your car makes a clacking sound when you turn, first check the lug nuts. A friend of mine hit something in the road one evening in Dallas, and his front tire lost air. So he took his car to a tire shop just off the highway. They patched the tire & put it back on his car, but he noticed that there was a clack/clunk noise when he turned right the next day. Lo & behold, the lug nuts were all loose on that wheel.

[@joelspivak6622]

[@jgreen8339]

You make things look so simple and easy scotty! A real pro! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos they are much appreciated! So entertaining to watch with the images. I bet you're a fun guy to hang out with 😂

[@frankbonura5710]

One tool you’re going to need is a torque wrench the bolts to the struts need to be torqued to a specific tightness as well as the nut on the tie rod as well as the hub nut. Not all CV shafts have cotter pins on the hub nut. I recently did one of these on a 2002 Saturn and it took less than an hour. Anyone can do this job. Some cars will require a wheel alignment after disassembling the strut and reassembling it again but if you make a mark on the strut with a sharpie and line it back up again you can probably get away without doing an alignment.

[@TheWilferch]

Caution...... the bolts and bolt holes on the shock strut that hold the wheel hub in place....many cars don't have an elongated hole in this area to change camber. Only a tight-fit circular hole for each of the 2 bolts. So taking the bolts out and back in WILL NOT affect alignement. Same deal when taking the tie-rod ball joint out and back in. The shaft is tapered and goes back in the way it came out......don't mess with the adjustment by rotating the housing....keep it where it is...and you'll be fine.

[@EcSsAwS]

I'm amazed he skipped a VERY important detail I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS scribe a outline of the strut mount so I can put it back exactly just last week my buddy replaced axles and didn't do this.. It drove all sorts of crazy

I was surprised to see you remove the bolts from the bottom of the strut, I was always told that even if your strut bolts aren't cam bolts the slop in the holes will change your alignment, we always remove the lower ball joint, than no alignment needed after repairs.

Hmm...what does this have to do with the vids title though ? Did the clanking almost kill him ? :)

[@hanskinslo326]

A failed CV axle could cause an accident, especially at high speeds.

[@vedymin1]

@@hanskinslo326 Well that could have been pointed out in the vid ;)

[@bobravenscraft5376]

First time I replaced a CV. Didn't have a clue. Ezpz

[@hedga001]

I've always used a breaker bar or cheater pipe when removing axle nuts! Impact makes it a lot easier and faster though.

[@levim6383]

Stop using clickbaity titles. Like this car almost killed my customer. Call it how to change a CV joint. That way if somebody needs to find this information it will come up in a search.

[@blankpanic]

its easier to just flag the video haha.

[@wkroutz]

How not to get killed by your car if the drive shaft is gone bad. Hahaha

[@markallenayers5510]

he did say "almost"

[@jeffandreson55]

Shut it, he can do what he wants...

[@johncothren8861]

I typed, Toyota, Camry, 2005, CV joint replacement, and the algorithm suggested this video. Myth busted. 🙄

[@ncvwrx2759]

Almost killed??? Come on, arent we being just a little dramatic!

[@zesty2023]

One of the better deeper explanation videos of yours Scotty, love it. Though the thing that sucks is the one thing you brushed over is the one thing I have the most questions about... which is how to pull the other end of the CV axle out of the transmission.

[@GMoney-B]

Slide hammer. Better than prying too I think.

[@TheOldestSoul]

Lol I just had to do both of these in my 02 Monte Carlo in two weeks. Replaced a Cardone after only 3 years! What in the world could have caused that?! The boot was torn wide open. Ah well. I already knew how to replace them but one of Scotty's earlier videos helped me with these two by remembering his energetic and humorous nature while working! Thanks, man.

[@fastaslightfiber2534]

My first thumbs down on a Scotty upload 😮

[@jimmysapien9961]

You’re absolutely right Scotty I did both sides on mine recently. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@123499893]

I remember the first time a saw a Scotty Kilmer video,, I needed some advice with alternators and inadvertently struck gold with his channel, Thanks for the awesome vids ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@waynegacyii9010]

I don't even own a front wheel drive car, but I can't stop watching Scotty in action. Dam he's good.

[@mrehomeskills7807]

replaced mine this week. 2006 Kia Spectra 239k. one boot was split, rest were throwing grease. the part was Cardone select. 42$ each. Noticed the steering wheel less vibration and shimmy at 70 to 80 mph. If you do not have air tools, and electric torque gun is useful. or a big long pipe for a lever. Scotty takes the time to tripod and edit. The grease tip on the C Clip is spot on.

[@Daschickenify]

0:32 The progressively increasing pitch of the air wrench immediately brought my mind to those wonderful scotty kilmer youtube poops.

[@mahalo9898]

Thank you for making this video I need to replace the axle shaft on my honda odyssey

[@nic03elic]

Changed my left front outer cv joint a week ago for a $25 for parts and $10 for labor :) No more clacking when turning left, no more lagging when shifting gears, it felt more solid power transfer to both front wheels Thank you SK
