Replace cv joint 1998 ford taurus

SOURCE: CV Joint Axle Replacement

It's not an easy job, and a very messy one! If you have never done CV's before, I suggest you take it to a CV specialist, as they will do it quickly and cheaply in comparison to the hardship you will have to go through doing it yourself. These vehicles are common for the axles rusting into the hubs and siezing in there, and often the whole hub needs to be removed and the axle heated and pressed out. The new CV's often don't come with a tone wheel for the ABS system and you may need to swap the old tone wheel onto the new CV joint, and measure the alignment of it with the sensor when refitting.

It's easier to put in a rebuilt axle. The steps are as follows

1. Remove the brake caliper, pads, and rotor.
2. Remove the axle nut.
3. Remove the lower ball joint retaining bolt and separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle.
4. Push the splined axle out of the knuckle.
5. Then, use a pry bar to pop the axle shaft out of the transmission. Insert the new axle shaft and give it a tap with a hammer to pop the "C" clip into position.
6. Then reverse the procedure.
