• Towed In! Grinding and...
This is a post roll video after the main video mentioned in the above link. I'm going to tear down this broken CV axle to examine the point of failure. This vehicle was towed in and was unable to drive. Most front wheel drive cars and vans have drive axles like this one. Unlike a typical driveshaft with u joints, CV axles have a constant velocity joint that provides a smoother rotation resulting in less driveline vibrations. It uses ball bearings and machined surfaces to achieve a smooth directional change of engine and transmission torque to the wheels. We remove the cv boot and clean out the worn out bearing grease that is packed in the boot. Inside we find chunks of bearing metal and other materials. She shaft is completely separated from the damage.

Amen brother,
Was wondering why i saw it not on the feed.....
At this point Ray your content is my prime time enjoyment I don't have cable or local TV. High speed Internet and RUclips premium your channel fllls a lot better than any TV show. So an average 40 min video is what I'm looking forward to. Really enjoy the channel and your work ethic and determination ray don't change bro!!!!
I dont think I've watched tv in over a decade at this point, RUclips is my tv
I haven’t had cable Tv in over a decade!
What about TV news? I couldn't live without my local TV news.
@@danielventura8073 its nothing but depressing junk and maybe 1 good story
Same! Went to HS Internet only 8 to 9 years ago and have Roku only (not been warched since may 2023) RUclips, Rumble and BitChute for entertainment and i get my news from local news and weather apps. When news gets too negative or they seem to be pushing "the narrative", I turn it off 📴
Your videos are part entertainment and part tutorial. You are sharing your decades of experience showing repairs on vehicles, which I'm sure has helped many a folk. Thanks to you!
I have no problems with the length of your videos. They are straight forward and very entertaining. Thank you for the autopsy.
I agree👍👍
i agree as well
Thanks for the autopsy, Ray. You are an excellent commentator/teacher/explainer of what you are doing. Don't stop!
Customer states: "It just started making a funny noise yesterday." Thanks for showing us the carnage Ray, keep up the good work!
They must have bad hearing!🤣🤣🤣
I hit a tall kerb after sliding on black ice. Car had to be trailered for repair.
I got it back with repaired suspension only to find horrendous clacking from the CV joint. It went back for new shaft and wheel bearing.
That "yesterday" was probably three years ago when that CV joint would make clicking noises during turns and eventually under acceleration. It was the 'pretend its not there' approach.
Its done similarly with wheel bearings and ball joints - until the wheel comes off (this is a 'thing' in the SE that I've observed)
This non mechanic found this video OUTSTANDING and educational. The inner working of vehicles is fascinating. Thank you for taking me to and unknown world.👍👍
Totally agree. I find them really interesting. Also a non mechanic. This is a chance to look over ones shoulder with out being a pest.
As far as I’m concerned the length of your videos is no problem, the longer the better. I’m retired and have nothing but time on my hands.
That’s what I say I’m retired I have nowhere to go and all day to get there 😀
Lil bit of JB Weld will put that basket back together and get another good 1/10th of mile down the road...
Interesting to see how the basket & bearing works vs u-joint. Great explanation on the physics side of the u-joint, as well.
Thanks for the bonus content showing the autopsy!!
just rollled in!
I was hoping he would take that indestructible boot from the failed CV and use it to replace the torn boot.
Lack of maintenance or hearing you decide. Lol
Well explained and demonstrated. I expect the owner breathed a sigh of relief that he was faced with the lesser of two evils, the other being a broken trans.
I've been around long enough to know that back in the mid 80's complete half shafts weren't economically available as they are today. We rebuilt them our self and replaced the boots when they became torn and we didn't wear gloves
As to the longer videos, sometimes that's not really up to you, but the repair itself, and the willingness of the vehicle to allow the repair to be as easy as this one seemed to be, or as difficult as your own truck's interior was. Sometimes, the vehicle wants to be fixed, sometimes it wants to fight you every step of the way. This T&C seemed to want to be fixed, so it gave you complete access, and 0 issues. The Pacifica, not so much.
As a DIY’er when I had my 2014 Caravan with the Pentastar engine, I had to replace the oil cooler assembly 2x, first with another plastic one from Amazon and again, by choice, with the Dorman Aluminum OE Fix. Even though the front axles looked easier on video, it would have made sense to have a pro replace the axles due to the need for impact tools which would be needed for proper replacement. The main reason why I was able to replace the oil cooler assembly myself was that I was able to use hand tools to successfully perform the job and save $$$.
You missed an opportunity to say “Another!!” and throw the cardboard roll across the shop when you pulled the last blue towel off of it.
Ray--I'm a retired carpenter age 74 who used to repair his own vehicles but not for about 40 years. Watching and listening to you is the most satisfying morning education for me. Your approach and logic to analyze and diagnose issues is astounding. Thanks so much. PS: Michigan weather is now in 40's last week 10 below zero. Crazy!!
Ray, - Hi from the UK.
"ANOTHA" great video. Hope you took the ball bearings home for your young ones. 😊
They make for great marbles !
I'm not a mechanic (DIY only) but have picked up plenty of tips from your videos of what & why things go wrong on cars. It's great to see how you diagnose & and carry out the repairs with plenty of humor to boot.😅
Keep em coming .. long, short, or mid-length videos. All good.
Wow, I had forgotten all about that. My dad was a mechanic back in the mid 60's in Sydney when I was in primary school. I could trade one steely for half a bag of the best cat's eyes. I ended up with a huge bag of great marbles. The best were the Tom Bolo Steelies which were a guaranteed game winner knocking ordinary marbles out of the ring.
Had the same thing happen on an '02 Dodge Intrepid. Right boot broken and leaking, Left boot ok, but joint was broken. Both joints were locking up prior to breaking and at highway speed, the wheel was wobbling as it revolved. Driver described it as the car felt like it was "Duck walking." She would slow down to street speed and it would go away. . . . .Until it didn't and broke the joint! LOL.
3:34 now that's part of what makes the videos good. Not just showing the wreckage, but trying to reassemble it to give a better understanding of how it was supposed to work and how it failed.
OMG Ray is playing with balls.
All day long 🤣🤣
Yeah, but they're not his balls.
@@dcolb121 Even better
I had to cringe when I heard Ray say ball cage
The outer joint that failed is a Rzeppa joint. The inner joint is probably a tripode joint. The Rzeppa tolerates a wider angle of motion but is more complex and fragile than the tripode, which only has to tolerate the driveshaft up and down motion at the transmission end..
Wear on the inner tripod joint (also called a plunge joint ) can cause interesting vibration issues in low-speed turns as the rollers move into and out of the worn areas in the tripod. Not generally noticeable when driving straight ahead.
I was almost upset thinking I would have to wait for the autopsy video....lol
Much love from the tip of the mitten state!!!
I was waiting to see what happened to the CV joint. It interesting to see that joint failed first as opposed to the other one.
I find your videos interesting and informative no matter how long they are. They show why auto shops charge what they charge. What used to be a simple job 40 to 50 years ago are not that simple anymore, when you have to dismantle half the engine just to get to anything. But, watching your videos does brings me back to the time when I was working on vehicles. Keep up with all your excellent work.
Your explanation of constant velocity made perfect sense to me. Its the difference between linear and angular velocity. In this case it seems as though the part failed to protect the boot. After all, look at the boot of the one that didn't fail.
i think the real reason that you are videos are getting longer it the fact that you are getting better as a cameraman and that you want to show us parts that you have never been able to show before
it is a good thing so it is fine
just remember that you are doing 2 jobs mechanic and video editor/producer/director if you need a break just go for it
I prefer these longer videos than multipart cliffhangers.
Hey Ray we snapped an axle on our town and country mini van, wife was at stop sign, raining, right front tire on the large white painted road stop line marker. Traffic cleared right front spun, van moved forward, tire hit pavement and tire spinning so fast when tire hit pavement SNAP broke axle in half. Tow to shop got fixed.
Hey Ray, I have no problems with the length of your videos yes I noticed the length but it never bother me it's very entertaining and i'm still learning so keep it up.
Great job of explaining this to us. Thank you Ray.
Back in the day, it was common place for us mechanics to rebuild CV axles. 👍
It was interesting to watch you work on the vehicle in tandem which included helping each other as needed. It's a first and liked watching something new.
It was interesting team work and it would make a good experiment. Never can tell.
Good content, happy I now have access see additional videos from your work 👍👍
Excellent, brief yer informative video on precisely the topic at hand. Thank you Ray!
Always look forward to any length of your content Ray! Great stuff!!
Thank you Ray... I was waiting for the autopsy.
Thanks Ray for doing this extra video. Very interesting.
You do a great job in your explanation's professor. Keep up the great educational videos.
Ray thanks for showing us how it works. I would like to say that I do enjoy your long videos.
i love your videos. I hated havingto work everyday. now after the heart trabsplant i really miss going to work every day. im doing it through you.
Wow... I wonder how many curbs and potholes those axles have seen... 😁
Precisely! A big ol boom boom!
Don't worry, Ray, you already explain things more than needed. No need to be a phisics scientist, it's always a play of levers, lengths and angles. Cheers, keep up the good work!
Thanks Ray
You did a fine job of explaining the operation of a constant velocity joint. Now do steering axis inclination and toe out on turns.🤣🤣🤣 Ray, you're a true tech!
I absolutely love the longer videos. You give so much information on what to do and what not to do. Thanks for sharing your wisdom of cars.
Great explanation of the U joint vs Cv Joint. Great autopsy video of that axle. Keep up the great work sir. Catch you on your next video.
Ray well enough spoken for the people who are not gearheads to fully understand the inner workings of a constant velocity joints inner workings..
I'm always amazed at the amount of engineering that goes into these vehicles.
Thanks for the video;
I think your times have expanded because you are taking on more complex jobs. Keep up the great work!
Love the video Ray can’t wait to see tomorrow morning video thanks ❤❤😊😊
great video and weell described Ray
Ray your content is awesome. I dont get a chance to watch every video, but your main content shows me youre an honest mechanic. I wish I had a shop like you close. My Durango is possessed and NOBODY can tell me whats wrong with it.
Great back up video.
This series of video's was great I have enjoyed this bonus scene. The longer video's have been enjoyable. Keep up the awesome job.
Thanks, Ray, interesting autopsy.
this was awesome! thx for the extra content!
Hi Ray.Here in good old Saskatchewan Canada.Two wks. Ago it was -48.And today -2.crazy.Just like spring.have a good one.good video.
I can stay up late enough to watch this.
I enjoy it when you go longer on your videos. You explain everything better for me (shaddy tree mechanic). I learned better.
Longer videos are OK with me, really enjoy your content.
Thanks for this video Ray, I replaced a few CV axles but never actually did an 'autopsy' on one.
Thank you Ray!!!🎉😊
great video
Well done sir. We used to manufacture CVJ boots, steering rack boots and other OEM/aftermarket bellows-types of seals/ducts. Thanks for the autopsy. First time I've seen such on a grenaded axle.
Most people get them replaced before they get that bad!😲😲
i always like to see why things failed, i find it helps to understand how it works , and it is always fun to dismantle things epically when you dont have to put it back together again
I have no problem with long videos. If it's tooooo long, no problem...I'll just return later to watch the rest. If you want to reduce the video length by having multiple parts, that's fine. But, I'd prefer to be able to see the entire job in one sitting. So, make as many parts as you want but maybe post them all at the same time.
Good job Ray. Thanks.
Love the long videos. Keep them coming. Learn much watching.
I enjoy your videos of any length. If I am pressed for time such as now killing time in rainy weather and getting ready for a night shift I will fast forward through the duplicate side repair. Got hooked on you and a few others: Watch Wes Work and South Main Auto a couple years ago when stuck home with COVID. Keep them coming!
I wondered how those things worked. Thanks for the post mortem. 👍
I remember many years ago witnessing an outer CV self destruct while I was walking along road. I helped the owner pick up the pieces as he only had one arm.
Sorry you feel that way your day to day has more distractions than your previous rent a stall days blessings to you and family 😊😊
I have no problems with how long your videos are as they are very informative, I know more about cars now than I've ever done to the point of fixing things on my that saved me money so thank you , also just ignore the idiots that say bad things to you they just attention
Had a love/hate relationship with those band clamps! Used the smaller clamps when I was a service tech.
Older VW's had rebuildable CV joints shafts. New joints came with new boots and a tube of moly grease. They were just bolted in place. The failure I had were the balls split in half. Good autopsy of these joints. Keep up your videos.
Thank you. I always wondered what C/V stood for Constant Velocity.
Was waiting for the Brakleen ta-da......but great quick explain on that. You can see how the star shaped race(?) allows those ball bearings to rotate in and out for the CV action
Hi Ray, I am a physicist and that was a pretty good explanation. Great work at always. 👌
That blue towel is impressive
Excellent information 👌
Gloves are pretty much a requirement when you're doing axle work like that, From my own experience grease in that condition Takes a week of constant work to wear out of your skin.
And that's washing them with gojo 2 or 3 times every day.
Worse than that is the black sealing goo Mitsubishi used on the plastic sheeting water seals behind the door panels in the 2000s. I have a 2002 Lancer and had to work inside the driver's door. I peeled that sheet off and that goo got all over me. It took over a month to get that stuff out of my skin. Worse than Henry's roofing sealer.
awesome autotopsy, thanks
It amazes me how engineers dream things like this up
Time videos are ok, explain everything in detail, very good job
After cleaning, those bearings would be fun ammo for a slingshot or wrist-rocket.
Love the insights! Can't believe the split boot one did not implode first. Now, to have some fun with those ball bearings!!
The tyme length is fine Ray. Giving a unique almost complete repair with a tried method is very very very helpful to all DIY'ers. Sum channels tend skip very important steps
I think the videos have become more educational since you have increased the time of your videos. You have gone more in depth into what you have been working on than in years past. I think you should keep making the longer videos
1st time seeing Ray use air tools to remove stuff!
Ray keep the videos long great content and information.
I've done plenty of CV axles in my time, and to be honest I have seen this before. Not very often as it is pretty rare for this to happen but I have seen it on a few occasions.
I miss the humorous "yodel" you did at your previous location whenever that phone made its goofy ring. Enjoy your videos. Very informative and entertaining.
If i recall, you used to shorten videos by skipping duplicate work, such as statimg the other axle is the same as this side. Instead of showing both sides.
Its here nor there for me, but i dont need to see how a tie rod bolt gets screwed on twice if your wanting to make them shorter.
What is surprising to me is that those things will have made horrendous noises for months before they failed, and the owner did nothing until forced to by the catastrophic failure. We used to repair those with the torn boots and dirty bearings in the eighties. The first step was to disassemble and clean the unit thoroughly. If the outer unit was not chewed up, a new cage and ball assembly was installed, and the system was assembled with new grease and boot. It soon became apparent that most were not rebuildable and had to be replaced, mainly because owners would delay seeking a repair allowing the bearing surfaces in the outer part to become chewed up.
Man your videos are perfect you can’t fix perfection my brother from another. Have a great week 🎉
Have a great day and god bless you and your family I'll pray for y'all ❤️ because i love y'all 🙏 i think y'all are the best on RUclips keep up the great work Ray don't worry you show it they will watch you your so cool 😎 dud ❤️
Actually that was a good explanation of why a traditional u-joint makes a 4wd vehicles front end surge when the wheel is turned too far away from center. Nice to see a cv joint internals. I is now a little bit smarter 🙃
This happened to my car nearly 40 years ago. Both CV joints blew out at seperate times and yes they made a clicking noise for a while beforehand.
Me myself i would trust Ray with anything I have he's a good guy he's showed me a lot of things that I woulded learning things he's showed
Great video..verry informative appreciate the video..keep it up..
Long videos are what happens when your work life becomes secondary, and your social media becomes the most important thing in your life
Classic failure here in the North. Get wheel spinning an snow / ice, then have it stop spinning very quickly on reaching dry pavement. Carnage of the CV joint follows, especially if the steering wheel is turned any amount. Easy trap for new drivers to fall into, sigh.
I had a cv axle blow apart on me once, but it was quite a bit older than that one. It was in a 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado.
