In this video I will show you everything that you need to know so that you can replace your own axle.All the Hyundai Elantras from 2001-2006 are the same procedure.This car is a 2002 Elantra.

For this particular car there is no need to remove the ball joint or stabilizer bar links(as some people do).
Just undo the strut mount bolts and tie rod end. This will give you all the clearance you need to get the axle out and new one back in...even on the shorter driver side half shaft.
Also, those cheap aftermarket axles without the dampener often times cause vibration at highway speeds. Be sure to get, in writing, a guarantee against vibration with cheapo aftermarket axles. This way, if you have an issue, you can return it for a refund and shop elsewhere. Buying a second, or getting a trade in on the same axle, from same manufacturer, will usually end up with the same vibration result.
Cardone sells rebuilt OEM axles for this vehicle. Tho the rebuilt has the dampener removed, they do guarantee it not to vibrate. Rebuilt also has the heavy thick OEM shaft that aftermarket CVs do not.
Just a heads up.
Noticed after buying my rebuilt OEM from Cardone, that Callahan sells a CV with the dampener. Don't know what their deal is, but they are just about the only ones that have one with the dampener installed outside of the OEM route, which as we know, is ridiculously overpriced for this car for some odd reason.
then you would need wheel alignment $100+ : /
@@975naThis car doesn't have cam bolts thru the strut mount, and instead has normal round, non adjustable bolts. You're really not disturbing your alignment much by removing them. It's always advised to have an alignment checked and/or done anytime you mess with any part of the steering components.
Personally I didn't do an alignment after doing both front CVs about 10k ago. Tires show no uneven wear, and car still tracks as straight as it did before the CVs. That's just my experience tho and results may vary.
If this car had cam bolts, that would be a very different story, but it does not.
Just performed this job on my 2006 Elantra at 130,000 miles. No need to undo the tierod as you can easily slide the rotor assembly back and away to clear the outer CV splined shaft. You only gain better clearance if you undo the tierod, but not necessary. The size wrenches are 32mm for the castleated nut, 14mm for the sway bar link, and 19mm for the lower ball joint.
Thank you for the video to you and the mechanic who did the job ( I appreciate honesty). The most complete explanation for DIY people like us how to change the axle on Elantra 2001-2006. I would like found it before I change the axel of my son car. Now we are having problem with the seals, because the 1A auto video didn't expalin like your " all the how to". Again thank you.
Really great teacher and easy to understand. Thank you
This just reminded me of why I subbed to you in the first place. Great vid.
Jim is the man! This is going to be such an easier job than I thought it. Will be fun in my car port.
The way I do it is to drop the knuckle out of the strut. That way you not messing with suspension settings like the tie rod end.
A fine job Jim! Looks like that the lower control arm is relativity new too! hope all is well Jim. And wow you finally listened to me "If you can get someone else to do it you are probably better off!"
Hi Mike Yes starting to get better.The lower control arm is another video that I will put up soon.I Hope all is well.
Easy peasy! Thanks for the warning on the trans fluid! Good vid btw!
Looks like your helper knows his way around cars. Hope to see him again.
Yes he is a very good mechanic.He worked for me for almost 20 years
That is a nice job you completed on that car, and I hope all was fine with it during the road test, and the customers was pleased.
Thank you for stopping by the shop and you input
Great video! Thanks! Really helpful for my '02 Tiburon
Thank you, I appreciate this a lot.
Great job on the video
Did my drivers side years ago… now the passenger side is popping recently so I guess it’s time.
Had little issues with replacing suspension parts on my Elantra , except replacing the ball joint . The Retaining clip has no holes and needed a specific tool which nobody had . 😡 luckily one random guy had one and came to my place to remove it. After that no issues .
Great video, at least I don't end up deaf at the end like "the other Car Guy"
Jim
Great video - especially since you did not had to get dirty! Observation - I like to undo strut bolts instead of unbolting lower bolt joint. This lowers a chance of ripping bolt joint boot. Other than that this is a very easy job even for DIY with jack stands and no lift.
Also, always torque all bolts to factory specs.
Thank you for your input and for watching
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Love your videos very informative, and great step by step.great work thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Very helpful (thank's for Indonesia)
very well done , jim great video sam
Thank you for stopping by the shop
Would have been helpful to state what size wrenches and sockets were being used otherwise great video.
You can use a 1 1/4inch socket on the axle bolt. Tye rod is 18mm. Sway bar 14mm (need two 14mm box end wrenches)
@@Thelinerider 1 video i watched said the axel bolt is 32 mm. just sayin
@@dacgaming415-30P both will work. 1 1/4 is more common.
Great presentation
Thank you!
Good job and great video!
Thank you
Nice job thanks
thanks good video
Nice video, thanks. I have a question, my Hyundai Elantra 2004 has 106,000 on it, I'm starting to hear clicking when I turn the wheel and give it gas, but going straight no noises, so should I replace them now or wait?
Thanks for the video. I noticed that the balancing mass was missing in the replacement shaft. just was wondering if that mattered ?
Thanks again.
Great video. Do you have one dealing with strut mount bolts that are stuck on the knuckle? I have tried the usual methods. Some videos show cutting them off.

Yes if you loose some fluid it is a good idea to check the fluid level. Thanks for watching.
VERY GOOD
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
What was the foot pounds specification on the bolt on the end off the axel???
Super. Děkuji. 👏👍
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos Jim. You are a wealth of experience and knowledge, and much appreciated by shade tree mechanics like me that are trying to save some money on DIY repairs.
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Hello, I just did this with 06 Hyundai Elantra (passenger side) with the help of your video. As I was getting ready to put on the big hub nut and cotter pin I noticed that the new axle doesn't have the 4 holes for the cotter pin! What's going on? Is it the wrong axle? Aren't all hub nuts are put on with cotter pins??
Hey Jim ... Any tips on how to torque the axel nut with out a torque wrench... Or tips how to use a non digital wrench
Jim I love your show. I learn a lot from you you're very detail you explain very very well. This is from Canada by the way. It's Bill I watch Steve. From Canada your buddy. Jim question for you when you do Mercedes AMG brakes do you need to unplug the computer? I seen people doing that I don't know why. I just did Mercedes 2012 AMG I didn't have to do that.
When he matches the axle up at around 05:40 they don't look the same to me. The old one has something round half way across the shaft. I am about to order the same part, and they have two different versions. One with that and one without. Anyone have any clue what the difference is?
Can I reuse the snap ring?? I had to remove the cv axle on a 07 tuscon to get the alternator out. Just curious before it reinstall the axle
Cool
whats the torque ?
What size is the axel nut?
You didnt have to bleed the brakes after disconnecting the brake line?
He never disconnected brake line.
whats the torque specs on the 2003 hyundai elantra axle nut.. can not find anywhere
same for 2004?
Do we top-up the transmission fluid since a lot of it is lost!?????
Yes if fluid was lost you will need to check it and add as needed. I'm happy to help. Watch for the next free tool giveaway coming soon.
what is the use that rubber on the middle of the axle? i notice the new axle dont hate it..
The driver's side has a middle rubberized balance. The passenger side doesn't have one.
hi, i tried today to replace the left axle on my elantra 2005. I was not able to push the new part in the transmission. I noticed the end of the axle (where it enters the transmission) is different like yours.. is this always like this?
Do you always have to use a hammer to push the new axle completely in the transmission? I am able to put the old part back in easily... but not the new one... I did not try to hit it with a hammer yet..
Are you sure it is the correct axle? Count the splines on the axles to make sure there are the same number . If everything is ok then the snap ring on the trans side maybe causing the problem. lube it with some grease and then tap it in lightly. Keep me posted
@@jimthecarguy I did it and it works... i already checked the dimension and theeth and its ok.
The circlip opening have to be on the bottom... greased... and a couple of hit with a hammer... and voilà😀
Hi, can this job be done without an air gun?
Also what size is the Large Nut on the end of the CV Shafts?
Is a Lift necessary?
Actually you could but it is a lot easier with an air gun.Thanks for watching. Im happy to help. Don't forget to subscribe.
I do repairs all the time without using a impact gun. I use a breaker bar and sometimes a pipe on the breaker bar.
Is that old axle has a balance weight on it? Do you have to transfer that to the new axle?
No the new one comes already balanced.
What was the torque spec for the axle nut
Jeremiah McGuirt exactly
Yeah lol
I gonna do this same thing on my mothers Audi. The boot is broken. But I cheap out and only replace the boot. Costs 16 dollars.
Thank you for stopping by the shop.Nothing wrong with just changing the just the boot
You got a new assistant Jim?
Hi Rob,Just a part timer when needed.
I could have done with him this week, send him over 👍
I see the same thing here 1 week very busy and the next dead.
Jim would you also replace the cv axle shaft seal when performing this repair?
Usually only if it is leaking
