New CV Axle Assembly from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ic/1AAC...
A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications. This video shows you how to install one in your 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade.

I found it much easier to not remove all of that. Removed the wheel bearing, one bolt from the bottom shock mount and it comes out, it's not difficult to remove that way. Wheel bearing removed gives it enough room to clear down from the differential side and just maneuver it out. I changed one on a 2012 Escalade today. I watched this video, looking for a wheel bearing torque, didn't see why it had to be taken that far apart, so I tried it the way I described. Worked well, and it was fast.
For anyone looking to do this just remove the strut via the 2 bolts on the lower control arm and push it to the side and remove the cv axle no need to do as he did....
Good time to consider strut replacement. Three years ago my brother, stepson and I rebuilt the _entire_ front suspension on an '08 GMC Yukon Denali. Naturally, it was outdoors because the garage was 'congested'. It was also below freezing most of the time we worked on it. We could only stay outside until 3:30 PM because once the sun went behind the trees/houses, it really got cold. Also, the bolts for the suspension arms were fused to the inner bushing sleeves all around. We finally found reciprocating saw blades that could actually cut those bolts off. I had the luxury of time to complete the job. A little over two weeks from start to finish because we took off for Christmas Day and New Year's Day. This 'exercise' was a real character builder and it was very satisfying to do the work ourselves.
Thanks for the beep noise haha. I need more of that in these videos
+docthompson1 Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Hi what is the torque spec for the cv axel bolts back to the front differential? Thank you
Thank you so much!!!!! You just got yourself a new subscriber
If your cv is bad but still functional will it wear out the inside lip of your front tire?
Good video doesn’t make me feel stupid
All I see is a lot of un necessary removal.
Thanks so so much, this video helped me change my torn boot on cv axel and then noticed my upper control was bad also so i installed a new left cv axel and left control arm. Only issue i ran into was my bolts snap and were seized in upper control arm and had to cut the bolts and bought new ones.. This all was done on a 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV:)
When the plastic abs locking tab broke 😂😂😂😂
What is the size of the Bolts holding the Axle to the differential? And Do u need a Swivel or a regular straight Socket will work??
My escalade it's just making a weird noise how do I know if it's the cv joint?
Serious question my new cv axle didn't come with a new washer for the spindle nut I also noticed You didn't put a washer on just the new nut as did I but I was almost thinking I should have used the old washer???? Any idea thanks in advance I appreciate it
+Daniel Haller Thanks for watching! You should be able to just use the old one if the new one did not come with it.
@@TRQ I think the new one had one built on the nut you just used the not without the old washer correct??
+Daniel Haller That is correct!
Cool because I didn't use the old washer on mine lol
you need to shave dude 😭
Buyer Beware TRQ part coming from 1A Auto are damaged and getting replacement sure easy but they only send you another damaged part. TRQ is ZERO help they Don't care save time and don't buy TRQ. These people won't even pick up a phone. P.S. even after you ask and give them your phone number. TRQ is a company without phones it appears. Wish I new before buying.
