Wheel Vibration? Infiniti (Nissan Maxima) CV Axles Replacement
Vložit

- This video will show you how I replaced the driver's and passenger side CV axles on a 97' Infiniti I30. The procedure should be nearly identical if working on a Nissan Maxima (The I30 is based off of the Maxima chassis, engine and transmission). The outer boots on both the left and right side axles were split. I could have replaced the boots but was fortunate to find replacement rebuilt axles on sale each for under $30. Replacement boots on these axles usually cost $15 or more. Cardone is the rebuilder and has an excellent reputation as an aftermarket parts provider. Although the cv axles in this video are being replaced due to split boots, damaged or worn cv bearings, bearing cages and/or bent axles will result in wheel vibration that will require replacement.

Hi. Old video but useful. Thank you. Just replace the RH CV axle on my Infiniti 2000. The stealership had replaced both of them 10,000 km ago (With garbage obviously). I wasn't going to go and see them again. Your video convinced me I could do it. I watched a few (Vids) and yours was by far the best and was my bible. It was work but I am proud of the work. Drive so nicely now. No more horrible noise when turning a corner. Thanks again
Thanks for sharing and glad it worked out for you!
One of the best repair videos Ive seen
Thanks for your support!
U really put out the most clear & comprehensive stuff at appreciated speed... Slowing down exactly where it needs more detail too ... Good stuff man.
Thanks for your post and support!
Great vid. My '04 Maxima with 310K miles thank you. Completed the job myself, my mechanic is not happy with you. Cheers!
Good to hear! 👏!
Dude, you saved my bacon on this repair! I have both the Chiltons and Factory service manuals, but there were a few wrinkles your video ironed out nicely for me. Many thanks for helping me get my daughter's 1998 I30 back on the road.
Great to hear and glad it helped you out!
WOW , what an Awesome video!!! Man you made this so direct and un-complicated that I can't believe it,, some other CZcams videos were making it way too complicated!!! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I feel confident after watching this video thank you
Thanks ... and good luck with the repair!
Great video....step by step. I also noticed you used duck bill pliers for the cotter pins - which I see as a great idea. Amazing that a vehicle that old had the 3 tough areas fairly loose.....the pass. side bearing (not rusted in place), and BOTH sides had the axle splines just slide right out. I never get that lucky!
Thanks again....I really like you style of video, with crystal clear, steady pictures!
Glad it was helpful!
man bro, just subscribed. Clear and concise repair videos are a rarity nowadays
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate that!
You know he’s a PRO when a tough job looks easy, especially the passenger side CV. Knows just where to apply leverage deep in the bowels of the suspension. Super impressive.
Thanks!
Awesome video 👍 you deserve more subscribers no fluff or marketing pushing products you
just get it done thanks for sharing
Thanks ... appreciate your post!
Great job as usual! 👍 Keep them videos coming...
Thanks! Will do!
Nice vídeo, i feel comfortable doing it on my own now.
You should! Go for it and good luck!
Man I definitely can do it now! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Awesome thanks man saved me a nightmare
Glad to hear it!
Awesome Video, really gives a good picture whats at hand in doing this job.
Q: 2006 FX35 Just pulled the front Passanger Side CV Axle....the Clip Stayed inside...LOL Will need to pick up extended needle nose plyers....to get the clip out.......unless someone has another idea. Thx!
Thanks! Haven't worked on a FX35 but wonder if the clip is suppose to remain inside.
I will be doing a lot of work on my 1999 maxima soon. 2 front bearings, struts, sway bar bushing and link, tie rods, control arms, ball joints, axles and complete brakes.
Sounds great!
Awesome video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

Thumbs up tho.
Thanks!
Ok SEE this GUY is gud Man.
People other CID channels our outher & suck, Pay attention to this guy, cause I do.
Thanks!
Good job man 👍👍👍
Iam doing it the same way and I've seen rarely doing it infront of camera the point and aim when I learned this is how to remove the axle from gear other things are easy and all you tubers are cutting this part 😂😂😂 and continues and when you ask they are saying it took long time this, this and this, shi--- what a f--- and no good answer untill my brother showed me how to do it and he is diyer not a mechanic thanks goodness that iam doing it myself
And I've seen that You are doing it the right way but why you keep it untill it shot 😅
Mean you are not checking every 6 months so if boot need replacement just clean grease, change the boot and grease it and you are done instead of keep changing with aftermarket, if you can fix it fix it
Thanks and you've made some great points!
one o f the best ive seen for this maxima driver side,the only bad design is that brake hose clip. ,do you haft to have both side jacks=ed up to incert the drivers side c v axel?
Thanks! Only the service side.
Was this Infinity a Manual transmission or Automatic? I was looking at the FSM and for automatic transmissions it states to: “ Insert a screwdriver into transaxle opening for right drive shaft and strike with a hammer.“ For Manual transmission: “Pry off drive shaft from transaxle.” Thanks for your input.
Automatic. You may have difficulty sliding the cv axle center bearing from the support hanger due to corrosion. May have to use a screw driver or punch and hammer to pry/push it out.
Nice video! So just to be sure, you put the jack stand on the frame rail on both sides of the car?
That is correct. Frame rail is best OMHO.
Hardly Moving Productions Where would you jack up in the rear on this particular vehicle?
I have a question. I have a camry and around the speed ranges of 40 or 55 I felt like a shudder vibration when I accelerate and when I have my foot on the gas at one of them speeds steadly. Could it be the cv axle or the transmission?
Believe it's the axle
Great video. How have these axles held up so far?
So far, so good. No problems.
I got a 97 q45 I hope it wont be a pain to replace mines
Depends on the amount of rust buildup.
I’m trying to decide if I should go oem or aftermarket for the axle
Cardone, Trakmotive, GSP & APWI are all good aftermarket brands.
Excellent Video. I always had bad luck with aftermarket cv axle, which cause vibration when accelerating. Do you know any tips.
Avoid store brand rebuilds or just buy new ones. Try sticking with reputable name brands.
That's why I have a habit to look on my boots every 6 months and check, and since then iam just greasing and changing boots once there is a crack even if it's minor I hate waiting for a disaster to happen 😂😂😂
If you can fix it and save your axle do it its only grease, boot, also pry bar and ratchets special plier for the c clip and you are done 👍👍👍
Coating the boots with silicone or dielectric grease will help preserve those boots.
@@hardlymovingpro great will do it 👍👍👍
@@Sroor2023 happy motoring!
How do you know if you have the limited slip differential or not?
You'll have to find a source on manufacturer's vehicle specs.

Thanks!
I drive a 2011 maxima and I just don’t know what my problem is, I had a bent wheel I replaced it, it got rid of a little vibration at lower speeds, but still The same 70+mph my car starts to vibrate like crazy, it bothers she living hell out of me, I’m thinking it’s either a bad strut , control arm or the cv axle joint
Whatever had the force to bend the wheel probably messed up the cv axle (internally)
hey did you ever figure this out
My bracket is stuck for some reason, i was able to pry it open but it won’t spin
Could be too must rust build up.
Do you have to remove the tire rod ?
Nope.
@Hardly Moving Productions Wow that's awesome Every single other video says you have to take off the tire rod
@@hardlymovingpro Thank you for the video and advice I got the job done today

Bro how the fuck did you remove the axle like that so easy out of the rotors mine is stuck
Here ... check out this video: czcams.com/video/TQswcF5VUSc/video.html If it's really stuck bad, use a air or electric hammer chisel with a pointy end.
The driver side is always the easiest compared to the passenger side...
Absolutely!
Just subbed tho, so if U can & wen U can save me some money would be great G
appreciate the knowledge & hrd work
Glad it helped.
