how to chance a CV shaft on a 1997 dodge stratus
no way
As it a front wheel drive, it has two half-shafts that go to the two front wheels.
Its not that bad of a task just can get a lil messy. You have to remove the wheel first. Then the brake caliper with assemble and then the rotor. Remove the cotter pin from the half shaft (drive shaft). You will have to remove 2 nuts (17mm) and 1 bolt (17mm) from the ball joint. Then you can lift up the whole strut assembley and manuever it so you will be able to back the half shaft out. Once the half shaft is out, you can pry/beat out the wheel bearing (toward the engine). Installation is the reverse of removal.
yes it is quite normal for oil to run out, if oil did not come out it would be more serious. After replacing the shaft be sure to top up the oil level again.
You can buy a remanufactured half shaft for less than it would cost to try to fix the old one.
Cam spins at half the speed of the engine.
It depends on the number of inches you are lifting, if you go over 3 inches you will need to alter several things from drive shaft ( because of angle ) to steering components.
Use a die grinder with a cutoff wheel and cut the race in half taking care not to touch the shaft. If the bearing race spun on the shaft and froze on to the shaft chances are the shaft is damaged.
THE STARTER SITS RIGHT ABOVE THE POINT WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE HALF SHAFT CV AXLE ENTERS THE TRANSMISSION. YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE HALF SHAFT TO GET IT OUT.
