Really nice video! Couple of questions, what was the reason you decided to replace the cv axles? Was the car vibrating when driving or was it just as a preventive maintenance?
The passenger side one, the boot ripped open and flung grease everywhere ripped, and the drivers side one had a seal leak, but when I took it out to replace the seal the boot was pretty bad on it too. So just wound up replacing them both.
I am going through the same issue. At highway speeds my passenger side will vibrate heavily whenever accelerating. Just replaced the axle but noticed that the bracket that mounts the axle to the engine was missing a bolt. I can't put another bolt in right now because the previous one snapped in there. When I get a chance I'll drill it out and put in a new thread/bolt. Hopefully that will finally fix my issue.
Super nice vidéo !

Did you noticed any unbalanced or shaky driving due to the bad axle condition?
I didn't notice any difference, only noticed when I opened the engine bay and saw grease slung everywhere.

@@nicolasdominguez3638 please let us know if your issue was resolved, Im planning soon to replace both axles :)
@nicolasdominguez3638 good luck with it
Can I ask why you changed them? Where they worne out? Im asking because i have a kind of humming noise on my Spyder and suspect it might be the axel.
I changed mine because my driver's side had a leaking seal and my passenger side boot destroyed itself.
