• 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.....
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
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 📴
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 😀
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!
Thanks for the autopsy, Ray. You are an excellent commentator/teacher/explainer of what you are doing. Don't stop!
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.
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)
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.
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
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
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.
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 $$$.
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.
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!!
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
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.
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.
I was almost upset thinking I would have to wait for the autopsy video....lol
Much love from the tip of the mitten state!!!
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 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.
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.
Like others have said no matter how long your videos are I still love watching and learning.
Also great that ARod is coming over more often things seem to escalate slightly when he’s around 🤣🤣
Love your work fella keep it up👍👍
Back in the day, it was common place for us mechanics to rebuild CV axles. 👍
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.
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!
My opinion on your videos, they are both entertaining and educational. I would rather watch a longer video giving more information about the repair, giving an explanation of what has happened for the repair needed. Keep up the excellent work.
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.
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
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!
I prefer these longer videos than multipart cliffhangers.
Very informational autopsy of the CV axle. At least people know that the clicking noise in a cv axle is a sign of trouble. I hope when customers here the clicking sound they would consider having you replace them😋👍
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.
Love the insights! Can't believe the split boot one did not implode first. Now, to have some fun with those ball bearings!!
Long time subscriber here. Rays vids are entertainment and educational. I love it! My best to Ray and his family along with continued success!
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.
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.
Had a love/hate relationship with those band clamps! Used the smaller clamps when I was a service tech.
I really enjoy your videos. I have a Town & Country with a 3.6, and after watching your video on an oil filter adaptor a while back I decided as much time as I spend driving hundreds of miles at a time I should make that change to my engine. I was not the first person to change the part and most of the adaptor screw heads were rounded off. I rounded one off myself because they are very soft aluminum. When the thermostate went South I also replaced it with an aluminum part. When I purchased the van there was a vibration at 65 MPH that was the right drive axle. I replaced the axles (both), struts and rear shocks, sway bar links and bushings. All at 100,000 miles. I have learned a bit watching your shows and will continue to do so in the future.
Ray really appreciate you taking the time to talk us through how it all works! Great content and time
you did a good job at explaining how a universal joint works👍
Love the Chrysler video. Watched the autopsy video too. Blew my mind that it was the axle and not the transmission. Short or long. I enjoy your videos. ❤😊
Ray you explained it more than adequatelyou don't have to be mathematics expert to diagnose a drive axle like what you did here you did a good job .
1st time seeing Ray use air tools to remove stuff!
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 🙃
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.
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.
I agree with above comment you videos are sooo great and informative it has allowed me as a 84 yr old backyard mecha ic to continue to complete repairs on my own 2016 (Dodge) van keep`em comin!
Always look forward to any length of your content Ray! Great stuff!!
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
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
Out of curiosity. I Was searching for this video. Nice autopsy. Your long videos are because you walk from one side of the vehicle to the other side. While still rolling video.
That blue towel is impressive
I like the details on the longer videos.
I wondered how those things worked. Thanks for the post mortem. 👍
It amazes me how engineers dream things like this up
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
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 miss the humorous "yodel" you did at your previous location whenever that phone made its goofy ring. Enjoy your videos. Very informative and entertaining.
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.
I don't mind the longer videos but I do like that you split this part out. It's really it's own thing.
And I hope that it drives (hehe) viewers to this channel.
I can stay up late enough to watch this.
Man your videos are perfect you can’t fix perfection my brother from another. Have a great week 🎉
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.
I'm always amazed at the amount of engineering that goes into these vehicles.
Thanks for the video;
Thanks, Ray, interesting autopsy.
RUclips algorithm took me to Ray’s Off Road channel.
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
Love the long videos. Keep them coming. Learn much watching.
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.
After cleaning, those bearings would be fun ammo for a slingshot or wrist-rocket.
I didn't think anyone still used that old school CV joint. My 84 Tempo had that setup.
Can I just say it... Ray for president!
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.
awesome autotopsy, thanks
This is a very common problem with the Chrysler products . As a Post Office mechanic , we saw this often .
Hey Ray! Came to this comment section to let you know this video is not posted to your OffDuty channel, only way to get here is through the link you placed on the main channel.
Cool autopsy by the way, good explanation!
P.S. the longer videos are good with me, sometimes I need a little extra chair time to help me relax…
After thinking about the rotation of the axle, even though the horizontal axis has different speeds when the U-joint is bent. The vertical axis forces the output to turn at the same speed as the input. It is when the cross is at 45 degrees that the inside of the bend is slower than the outside. It will be the same with a 6 ball joint, but the difference is much smaller since one set of balls need to be horizontal - the others are at 30 degree from vertical.
Time videos are ok, explain everything in detail, very good job
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 enjoy it when you go longer on your videos. You explain everything better for me (shaddy tree mechanic). I learned better.
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.
After watching this, I’m gonna try an 82° cold start on my Chrysler minivan 😎
I figure now I have the whole video Nice Ray You make a good video no complaints here and I don’t care if they are long Thanks
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.
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.
Long videos are what happens when your work life becomes secondary, and your social media becomes the most important thing in your life
Good morning Ray
Wife unit hates when he uses her orange kitchen gloves 😎
I do hope you saved and cleaned those bearings... I would buy them!
Length is better than short time lapsed videos
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.
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!
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.
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 ❤️
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.
Ray keep the videos long great content and information.
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
Wow... I wonder how many curbs and potholes those axles have seen... 😁
Precisely! A big ol boom boom!
Nice job on the whole repair it was very interesting you made it look easy I am guessing you have done that once or twice before LOL.
