PS thats just a rough guide off the top of my head. Buy a Haynes manual it tells you every little detail needed | |

quote: What do you mean I have used SOMETIMES? :| :lol: :P Its not hard to do, just a bit fiddly. Quick guide on how to do it is: loosen wheel nuts jack up remove wheel remove split pin get someone to sit in the car with foot firmly on brakes loosen & remove the "castle nut" (looks like a turret) Loosen ball joint, remove it think you remove the 2 bolts from the lower arm too pull the brake disc/hub etc upwards to get the drive shaft free, then prop it up somewhere to keep it out the way cut off the existing rubber cv boot use the ciclip pliers to remove the circlip (this is the trickiest/fiddily bit, be patient) slide the cv joint off the shaft get new CV joint grease it up a bit slide new boot on slide new cv joint on the circlip will click so you know its locked in and then just put it all back together :thumbs: Don't go driving it about its not very safe. | |

It will more than likely be the outer CV joint. Inners aren't subject to the same stresses. Usually last the lifetime of the vehicle. | |

CV joint by the sounds of it. Bearings make a whining/grinding noise. | |
