Quick question about s54 cv axles, or just cv axles in general Options

[enderswift]

Hey there,

I was reading my repair manual the other night while changing out my ball joint and tie rod and noticed that it said to be careful not to overextend the cv axle when seperating the steering knuckle. What does overextend really mean? what happens to the cv when its being overextended and what can that cause??? I still have a wierd shuddering clunk off of acceleration so maybe it might be due to my cv axle?

I did you the favor of jacking up my car for the same purpose. there is NO play in my CV axles altho the 5s-ge and s54 are practically brand spanking new (yea i said 5s-ge, go read my thread) they do not move what so ever.
