your cv is broken, get a new one.

[Curt Hayes]

do you mean front to rear? It's broke, if that's how it's moving.
I'm guessing you did more than just hit a curb. I don't notice a folded wheel there. What really happened?

[CoryMStew]

uh my rim is actually egged but i took it off already, do you think it would be safe if i tow it with a tow trailer from u hual for a good 25miles?

[EN318isPDX]

I have 2 working CV axles pulled from a working car. PM me

[Jesse30]

as long as you load the rear of the car on the trailer which you should be doing in the first place you'll be fine.

well 1 inch is a lot more than none so i think its safe to say your inner CV is trashed. replace halfshaft with junkyard item. you dont want the rest of your car getting jealous of a shiney new part. thats a lot of force to transfer through the trailing arm, it could be bent too. does your wheel sit the same relative to the body as before your parking lot heroics ?

[Curt Hayes]

Yeah, you wouldn't want to have that shaft flopping around while pulling it. It'd do all sorts of damage.

Or you can buy them from Napa, rebuilt, for $80 each. Anybody had any experience with those? That sounds pretty cheap. Although there's a local place here (Drivelines NW) that will do them for $115/ea.

[CoryMStew]

ahaha parking lot heroics i like that one and the wheel is sitting correctly.

a "rebuilt" half shaft is just a used one with new grease and boots. there is no cost effective way to remachine the 3D grooves and then you would need bigger balls too. so if the rebuilt axle you get was good before it was rebuilt it will still be good . if it was not so fresh before, well it will still be junk.

As a axle rebuilder, please fuck off. This is the nonsense that kills my business. You are talking about reboot kits you buy from autozone.

Rebuilt or remanufactured axles are machined to over OE dimensions, and then new cages and ball bearings are used to account for the new inner/outer race diameters. If one or both races is trash it gets recycled. In the process of refreshing both inboard and outboard CV's, the paint is stripped and new applied to prevent rust buildup. New grease, new boots, new bands, good as new axle.

If someone offers you a 'rebuilt' axle for less than $60 laugh at them. If there is paint on the inboard or outboard splines return it and get your money back.

Most of our axles are about $100 installed, with a lifetime warranty. Uncommon parts such as E30's are a bit more if we cannot remanufacture your core.

To the OP, take your car to a shop. Your dad doesn't deserve any more punishment than having you as a son.

[CorvallisBMW]

oh my... sub'd so I can come back and read the whole thing after work :)

[LJ851]

KennyT, I apologize . what is brand name of your axles? i would love to have a source for properly remanufactured axles. is there a list of applications online , i need a pair for my 911.

[StereoInstaller1]

Never again will I enjoy a thread like this one. LMAO!!! But, like all funny movies, It ended LAME!! ( expected to piss in my pants) But on the other note, I'm glad R3v helped him. With his problem, and in his Manhood!! LOL
