CV Joints

i am having pain in my hip joint i am 43 yrs old i had a car accident the doctor has advised total right side hip joint replacement

The best place that one may obtain advice on how to write a CV would be websites like ehow, chacha, or about. You could also go to a company that specializes in writing CVs, and pay them to do it for you.

The easiest way to replace them is to replace the axles. If you are not mechanically inclined you should see a mechanic if you are so adept here are the steps:

1. put the front of the car up on jack stands and block the rear wheels

2. remove both front wheels or the wheel of the damaged side

3. look in the center of the brake rotor, see the nut that looks like a castle with a pin through the bolt its on? that has to come off, remove the pin and nut but don't damage the pin you will reuse it, if it brakes you can get them at an auto parts store

4. you have to remove the lower steering control arm it will be towards the back of the car attached to the spindle, it will have a nut facing up, remove the nut and gently tap the arm down to get it lose

5. look directly beneath the rotor there will be another nut, this one hold the spindle (what holds the rotor) to the lower control arm, remove it

6. now you should be able to move the lower control arm down and swing the spindle out towards you to pull the axle out the back of the spindle

7. now using a long screwdriver or pry bar follow the axle to the transmission where it meets the transmission there is a boot and a cylindrical cup where it meets the transmission use the pry bar between the cup and the transmission to pop the axle out of the transmission

8. get a new axle and reverse the steps for reinstallation however be sure that when you are putting the new axle in that you don't pull it long ways there is a slip joint inside the cup end and if you pull it too far the bearings inside might come lose.

Hope this helps but be sure to be careful and take your time.

clicking when turning.

A bad inner CV joint will make a clicking noise when making sharper turns on the outside wheel. The clicking noise is from the ball bearing inside of the joint being loose and rattling around inside the race. I recommend getting it replaced ASAP due to the fact that if it fails it will wreak havoc and you could possible lock up the wheel it is bad on and force you to a halting stop or even worse, causing you to lose control and crash. It is always a better bet to be safer than sorry.

1. Loosen the wheel nuts with the vehicle on the ground.
2. Put the vehicle up on a jack stand
3. Remove the loosened wheel nuts
4. remove the wheel
5. Disconnect the ABS sensor from the brake and hang it out of the way
6. Remove the brake caliper & bracket and hang the caliper out of the way with a zip tie.
7. Remove the brake rotor
8. Undo the axle bolt (use a breaker bar)
9. Remove the lower ball joint cotter pin and loosen the nut
10. Split the lower ball joint
11. Remove the lower ball joint nut
12. Repeat steps 7-9 with the upper ball joint
13. Remove the steering knuckle from the vehicle
14. pry the axle out from the differential housing with a screw driver or crow-bar (it's held in with a spring clip)

This problemsounds like the tires might need to be rotated and balanced. the car might need to be aligned if the car pulls to the right when you are driving straight.

Hmmm.. well could you start off by putting the grades you achieved in school, past jobs? erm.. your good qualites, things you have achieved so far in your life? (:

If not, could you maybe apply to do a course/ courses so then you have things to put on your CV? (:

Sorry if i wasn't any help, only suggestions as imma 15 ^^

Push on joints in piping refer to a type of mechanical joint that allows for the quick and easy connection of pipes without the need for additional fittings or adhesives. These joints typically use a rubber gasket to create a watertight seal, enabling the pipes to be pushed together and locked in place. This method is commonly used in various plumbing and drainage applications due to its simplicity and efficiency, as it reduces installation time and labor costs. Push on joints are particularly popular in PVC and other plastic piping systems.

2001-2006 Escapes do not have CV joints. They have CV axles, a ball joint, and an outer tie rod joint.

Replacing the ball joint is the most difficult of the 3. You might as well do all 3 if you have a bad ball joint, unless you have recently done the others. You have to basically remove the brake caliper and rotor, if you have ABS detach the sensor, push out the CV axle from the hub, disconnect the upper sway bar linkage from the strut, disconnect the 2 bolts attaching the hub to the strut tower, remove the tie rod joint kotter pin and bolt, and then pop the tie rod joint out.

Now, the hub should be connected solely to the ball joint. It's tough getting the hub off. When the hub is off, you should now just be looking at the old ball joint in the control arm. You can use a ball-peen hammer to smack the old ball joint out, or use a ball joint press if you have one. You will definitely need to use a press to get the replacement ball joint pressed back in.

Getting everything back together can be a bit tricky; it is better to get the hub back on the new ball joint, re-connect the CV axle into the hub, and then get the hub assembly back into the strut tower connection. You will have to use significant force to lower the control arm to get the bolt holes in the hub and strut connection to line up (i.e. 1 person standing on it, the other getting the bolts in). After you attach the hub to the strut tower, you will then be able to use a jack to raise the control arm (and hub/strut tower) enough to get the upper sway bar linkage back in.

Then reconnect the tie-rod joint, throw the rotor back on, and hook up the brake caliper again (and ABS sensor if you have).

I just this today and managed to get it done in about 3 hours. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm pretty good and this was a pain and was pretty messy. I also highly recommend the MOOG replacement parts for the sway bar linkage, ball joint, and outer tie-rod. They are engineered far better than the original Ford parts and are inexpensive.

You need to replace the ball joint when you hear creaking and grinding when you are slowing down to an almost complete stop, as if the wheel were about to grind or snap off. Also note that if you replace the outer tie-rod joint, and lose track of where it was set, you will need to get an alignment.

The consumable parts of the front suspension are the struts, CV shafts, tie rods (and ends) wheel bearings, and ball joints. Any of the parts can be replaced individually and typically wear out at different rates.

APEX (Advanced Planning and Execution) is expected to eventually replace the Joint Planning and Execution Community (JPEC) processes as the centerpiece for joint planning. It aims to streamline and enhance operational planning by integrating various planning and execution functions into a unified system. This transition seeks to improve collaboration and decision-making across military branches and allied forces, ultimately leading to more effective mission outcomes.

There are 2 U joints on a 1999 Ford expedition. There is an U joints on each end of the driveshaft.

When a CV joint goes bad you will hear a clicking noise coming from the front end. Which ever way you turn the outside wheel will click due to the load going to that wheel and you will hear a distinct clicking sound. If you drive on it long enough it can completely fail and can get quite costly you should go out now and get a new one if it is bad. You do not want to have to pay for a tow and risk tearing up the internals to your engine by driving on a bad CV!

You will hear a clicking or taping noise whenever the car is turning in the direction of the bad CV joint. So if your drivers side is bad then you will hear it when turning left. That death click that you hear is only caused by CV joints going bad... you might even be able to feel it through the steering wheel or floorboard. The clicking happens when additional weight transfers from one wheel to another (most often turns) but can happen during accelerating and stopping if quick enough.

do not remove strut bolts instead take lower balljoint loose ,take axle nut loose pulling spindle out as you push in on axle, then pry axle out of trans

A Clicking or grinding noise coming from the front end. The best way to test your CV joints is to drive backwards in a tight circle (wheel completely cranked) you should be able to tell which side the noise is coming from if it is bad.

Cove

You can run a quick diagnostic test on it as follows:

1)Get in your car

2) Make sure you have a lot of room

3) Put your car in Reverse

4) Accelerate Slowly

5)Crank the wheel to the right

6)Listen for "CLICKS"

7)Crank wheel to left

8) Listen for "CLICKS"

If you heard clicks you should have been able to tell which side of the car it came from but if you heard clicks while cranked right you should have heard it come from the left side, and vice versa. If you hear clicks you should think about getting it replaced soon, if it goes unchecked you could have some more severe consequences. They tend to run $75-150 and if you are mechanically inclined at all it is rather easy to replace it yourself!

Constant Velocity

Take the tier off ondo the center hub bolt unbolt the lower ball joint pop it out move the strut tower over then pry the cv shaft out be carful then ounce out pop the new one in and boult it back together

If it's cracked, sand, etc. will get into the joint and it will wear out and fail. As the link providing power to the wheels, failure of the CV joint will leave the vehicle undriveable when it fails.

Depending on how much grit get into the joint, it may go a long time before failure, or it may not last long at all. Depending on your situation, you could tape up the hole or crack and wait until it goes out. Also, considering that replacing the boot can cost nearly as much as replacing the the entire halfshaft, replace the the entire halfshaft when you do it.
