The Dodge Dakota pickup truck has CV joints on both front wheels. The pickup truck also has a driveshaft, as it is rear wheel drive.
Remove the rear U-Joint and be very careful not to loose caps or any needle bearings. Uses lock rings to hold it in place. Tape it together with duck tape. Now pull the drive shaft out of the transmission and remove the front U-Joint from the driveshaft and replace it. Reinstall in reverse order.
The 2000 Ram had u joints, not cv joints at the front axle.
A chevy 3500 truck is not front wheel drive, so it does not have CV joints.
How much does it cost to replace a cv joint on 4 wheel drive
Both ends need removed.
take it to a mechanic!
how do you replace the drivers side drive shaft and cv joint?
You have to replace the whole drive shaft.
There is only one, it is in the middle of the double cardan joint on the transfer case side. It is very hard to find with out removing the drive shaft.
Unless you wish to be walking unexpectedly, yes. The CV joint provides power to the wheels in a front wheel drive car, and losing one will stop the car wherever you happen to be.
The CV joint would have to be broke in 1/2 to cause the 4-wheel dr. not to work. 4-wheel drive would work BUT the front wheels would not pull.
