![How to change cv joint on VW CADDY 3 Van [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5wovnzTDNnw/mqdefault.jpg)
Abit pointless taking that axle bolt out haha
you are right
true
and thank you
pleasee, how do i do it without taking the axle bolt out?? I just dont wanna mess with that
How necessary is it to remove the driveshaft bolt? And it's single use right? I am looking at replacing ball joints and LCA bushings and bracket at same time. Really would like to get out of removing the DS bolt if I could.
The screw bolt must be extracted from the drive shaft, as this makes it possible to move off the hub to obtain some space to work with the replacement of the ball joint.
If you don't do this then during the displacement of the hub you will you pull out the drive shaft from the box and there will be oil leak. It's better to do from the hub side. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thanks for this, but why is it necessary to remove the axle bolt (and shouldn't this TTY bolt be replaced?) - is the extra working space that much more significant? Does it matter if the axle accidentally pops out off the hub?
Thank you for your feedback!
You are absolutely right, we will take this into account in the following videos.
Best regards,
Autodoc team.
@@autodocuk Hi,
I just purchased 2 ball joints for my Caddy van 2007 model but the old ball joint is too tight to drop out! do you have any tips?
Cheers.
@@llewbach77 Disconnect the tie rod end then you can remove the driveshaft/CV joint fully and whack the top of the balljoint with a big hammer.
Excellent video, very helpful! Won't dread changing wishbone bushings anymore! :)
Thanks for the video, nicely done. I changed the same ball joint in my Audi TT today and the track is now towing out and the steering is misaligned. Should I have finished tightening the 3 bolts with the wheel on and on the floor? Nothing is worn and the steering rack was not moved. I have to assume that the joint can position itself differently.
Thank you for your comment!
The control tightening of the ball joint bolts can be carried out when the wheel on the weight.
Stay tuned with us!
Best regards,
Autodoc team!
Happened to me as well with Mapcojoints, ended up buying VAG original balljoints, soo much better.
Your camber/toe changed when you replaced your ball joint.
TT has adjustable front camber due to slotted bolt holes in lower arm. You need a alignment after.
Thanks for the advice I have sorted it by swapping it for aF type now my problems will begin.
Thank you for the video but it has kind of glossed over tightening the nut on the tapered cone of the ball joint. With the drive shaft in place there isn't space to put a splined tool in the centre to stop it spinning when tightening. I've seen a suggestion of jacking the ball joint into the hub carried but will the resultant friction be sufficient to tighten to the nut to the specified torque?
If the hinge starts to rotate, you can press the ball joint from below with a stop to remove the gearbox. If you don’t have such a tool, you will have to remove the CV joint to gain access to the inside of the hinge.
Thank you
It's a meee! Warrio!! Lol.. Love your vids tho really💯💯💯
Thank you for your feedback!
We are glad to know this tutorial was useful to you.
Stay tuned for more!
Best regards,
Autodoc team!
excellent video, just what I was looking for. thanx
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was useful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Is it the same for the polo 9n?
Yep. Get ready to replace the same ball joint in a year. "All bolts at suspension parts with bonded rubber bushings must
always be tightened in curb weight position"
Unless you jack the suspension up, how are you supposed to do this with the car on the ground
@@T2oys VW has a special jack contraption for raising the axle: VAS6931 + T10149
such as control arm bushings etc. ball joint is not
@@troopin of course ball joint is. Just look at the VW docs for the "Ball Joint, Removing and Installing" -
it explicitly says "Tighten the (three lower) nuts in curb weight position."
@@prs314makes no sense logically and practically
Thank you
Hi, is it necessary alignment after ball joint change? thank you all. Sorry for my english.
Thank you for the feedback! No, it's not necessary to alignment after ball joint change. Best regards, Autodoc.
Daniel Didac i changed changed ball joint and definitely needs a slight alignment.
@@autodocuk Yes, at the very least check front toe.
Why do you have to undo the driveshaft? Im looking at replasing the whole control arm
Thank you for your feedback! You can leave the drive shaft in its place, but the replacement will be more difficult. Best regards, Autodoc.
Okay thanks alot
Your video is great thanks very much.
I tried this out the other day using the same hole saws that you used and it didn't work. The nut kept on snapping and cross threading :-( . I used M10 threded steel and M10 cheap nut from proper job. Just wondering if you have any ideas as to why the bushing won't come out? Do you think I need a better quality steel thread and bolt?
+Sergio Klapp Maybe you are pulling the bush the wrong way
+Tonny Dark use deeper threads and harder steel,right direction.
Thank you for oyour feedback. You are totally right. Please wait for our other ideos to be published as we will show the sequence of the mounting of various parts. We hope that this information was useful for you.
Is this the same procedure for the Audi A3 8pa?! Since is the same platform as the mk5 golf
Thank you for your comment!
In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing may differ slightly in the design features of your car.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team
is there anything different when doing the mk7 2015 gti? do you remove the long bolt from the wheel hub or can you just turn the wheel to access it better?
To answer your question we would need more data concerning your car. Best regards, Autodoc team.
hi
are these steps the same for tiguan 2009.thanks , and if its right that we can hear a sound like "stretching " when we turn the steering wheel on the right or the left
thanks
Thank you for your feedback! The replacement will be similar, but there can be a lot of reasons for an alien sound. We recommend that you contact Car Specialized Service for full diagnostics and detecting of the reasons for the noise. Best regards, Autodoc.
Beautiful videos ☺️. Do you need to perform wheel alignment after that?
After replacement, it is recommended to correct the camber.
AUTODOC
@@autodocuk There is no camber adjustment possible on Golf 5 front unless you are talking about moving the subframe?
@@dopiaza2006in cowboy garages nobody's bothered about that unless you take it to somebody decent to do it
Great video! help me out a lot!
Torque settings for top bolt of ball joint? Thank you. This is dangerous and you should say proper torque
Thank you for the feedback! All torque specs are indicated in the technical documentation on the vehicle maintenance, you can find them out at the official car dealer. Best regards, Autodoc.
Good video. Those bolts on the ball joint look very long :)
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was useful for you. Best regards, Autodoc.
They put them in upside down
Do the axle bolts need replacement after removing?
Thank you for your comment!
Yes, it is also recommended to replace them with new ones.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team
no, just don't remove it
Anyone attempting this is advised to have spare bolts/nuts. I recently replaced both front ball joints ,all of the bols snapped even though I used loads of WD40 and AC90
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
The axel bolt needs proper torquing and loading on the wheels otherwise the bearings will be damaged I also thought it was a single use stretch bolt why remove it?
Yes, you are absolutely right and we will definitely take this into account in our new videos.
AUTODOC
hi is it the same in the mk5 gti thanks
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, the procedure is the same in the mk5 gti. Best regards, Autodoc.
Where or whats the name of the joint ball remover?
Thank you for contacting us.
The name of this part is V3308 VIGOR.
Stay tuned with us.
Best Regards,
Autodoc team
The driveshaft bolt is a one time use only bolt and would need replacing if removed
We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.
Nice video. The music is kind of annoying though.
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. The music can be turned off in the area below the video for your comfort.. Best regards, Autodoc.
No torque settings?
lol @ that hub/beairng bolt coming straight out....that was pre-loosened with a 5 foot breaker bar before the video was filmed. Only tool that can remove one of those is something that has 1000nm reverse impact torque i.e. the best of the best air impacters or a dewalt dcf899
Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, so some stages of the repairs might have been excluded. Best regards, Autodoc.
Meanwhile back in the real world... The ball joint jumps out of its taper while undoing the 19mm nut. Then the pathetic hex hole in the joint shaft strips out. Cue air saw to cut old joint out. And how the hell does he tighten the new nut without the ball joint spinning again?
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. Our videos are for guidance only. All routine replacements and values \u200b\u200bcan be found directly in the technical documentation for your car or use the help of a car maintenance service.
Shame to make such a close video yet the most important part, the balljoint tool used to pop it out never seen the tool or close up like other shots
You can have a look at the options and choose the appropriate one using the link here: www.autodoc.co.uk/tools/ejector-ball-joint-4553/?TH-cam&
do the front axle
Thank you for the feedback! We are currently working on creating a wider range of tutorials including the one you mentioned. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
No torque settings !!
You are absolutely right. All the main bolt connections must be tightened with a torque wrench. This video is considered to be an informative one, so it just shows the sequence of repairs. Best regards, Autodoc.
I approve, I was a bit shocked by that but as he said it's mainly to show how to replace a ball joint.
Top tip regarding torque setting of the ball joint top nut: make sure you apply a reverse load (upwards) to ensure you reach the correct torque setting. Reasoning behind this is that it's the natural weight bearing position when the car is back on its wheels. You can use a jack pressed up against the steering knuckle to achieve this. If you don't do this, you won't achieve the correct torque setting, and risk the ball joint being too loose, which can cause knocking and premature failure of the ball joint.
Is this the same for a MK6 Jetta?
Thank you for the feedback! To give you an answer, we need to know more information about your car and its configuration. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
