so, long story short. how much slop is to be expected after installing a new driver side cv axle? what i mean i guess is, when i have the driver side jacked up with the tire off the ground i can turn the wheel and hear a clunking kinda noise from inside the cvt. now granted, vibration travels and all so it may be the cv, not the trans. if that makes any sense.
how much should the cv axle turn in park, with wheel off the ground after replacing a new one? just the driver wheel off ground, passenger planted. should there be any play at all? just curious cause the car is making a clunking / pop kinda sound around right hand turns. i have jerked on the wheel up and down, side to side with what seems to me like no movement at all.
any thoughts?
2011 nissan rogue-- new tie rods, passenger cv axle, control arms with ball joints,
and wheel bearings replaced about 2 1/2 years ago.
driver cv axle, struts and sway bar end links replaced about 1
month ago.
everything torqued to nissan specs.
145,00 on car and still on OG cvt. i am suprised also, it has been well taken care of and serviced by me. also, FWD S model.
this slop / play has me confused, any thoughts or ideas would be nice.
cheers
