Thread: Is this normal?

New cv shaft new wheel bearing and new upper poly mounts...crazy loose sound and vibration when turning right really can make noise come out when I lock it in 1st gear and turn circles in parking lot...did this before new shaft and now its worse and starting to do it even when you are going straight

I think its supposed to have a little bit of back and forth movement but I don't think its supposed to have any up and down or side to side movement.

That's about how much mine moves. Recently put CV shafts in both sides. Kept shoving on that side waiting for it to tighten up...

Not saying it's right though. :shrug: Waiting to see what others say also.

Looking at it doesn't look its in the trans far enough but when I installed it it popped into place....at this point deff not ruling it out since my vibration is still very much around...the shaft has about the same amount of side to side and up and down movement when its sitting on the ground with the tire on...any chance the shaft they gave me is to short? Or is the trans taking a dump

Shaft has a half inch gap between the trans and shaft

Tug on it. If it doesn't slide out of the trans, the clip is seated.

I can tug on it and it doesn't pull out...just has play up and down

Well its in far enough then, Are you sure it's the cause of the noise?

Not sure of anything really...but noise and vibration is on the right side when turning right

If new lower motor mounts don't fix my vibration then I'm out of ideas and may pull the shaft

Anybody else have any thoughts on this or my issue?

Maybe it is a defective wheel hub? Kinda sounds like a wheel hub issue to me. Does the vibration increase/change with speed?

Only does it when turning and accelerating...coasting turning doesn't do it
