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? --------------------  |
