Just to let you know, I am very thankful for your videos. You have saved me thousands of dollars over the last few years. I am not mechanically inclined and you make it easy to follow and replicate.
+Lance Provost Thank you for the great reply. We love to empower our customers by showing you how-to perform your own auto repairs while installing our high quality auto parts. Have a great day! 1aauto.com
i like like the 1A auto videos because you guys actually explain how to do it step by step.
Glad to hear it. Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out!

Yea, i actually had to take my shock off because that torsion bar of mine was bent. But it went easy after that.
Thanks for checking us out! Have a great day!
I kept hearing popping and loud crack sound on left side so I changed upper ball joint which did help a lot but the popping and cracking still there.. super annoying, kept going under my truck to move things around and couldn't figure it out. Finally got the answer today, moved my CV axle up and down after jacking it up and clunk/pop over and over..and this video does help to see how easy it is to do hope that info helps people that get that same problem.
+The Happy Ginie Glad to hear you managed to figure it out. Thanks for the kind words about the video. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Was the noise mainly when you initially accelerated? I’m trying to diagnose a clunk sound that only happens on acceleration when load is initially taken off the front end...
I'm working on my 2005 sierra 1500 5.8, when i turn left or right sharply, i get this clunking sound. The sharper I turn the harder it gets. I think its the CV Joints. Im gonna start there anyway. It super annoying and pretty loud. But only when I turn too sharp.
Thank you! I’m no mechanic but with the help of this video I have successfully changed my CV!
Great Demo. Help me get my job done. The only difference on my 2002 Chevy Suburban 2500, there wasn't really a traditional nut on the top of the stabilizer link, it was more like a flat washer with a threaded sleeve. Just used vice-grips to hold it on the edges while I unscrewed the bolt. Thanks for the video, keep 'em coming.
Just wanted to say, Thanks! Your vid gave me the confidence to do the job myself. I saved money and time, Thanks again!
Thanks very much for this video!! I had to do this repair on my 2003 GMC Yukon Denali today and your video saved me a huge headache. I recently did the same thing on a Subaru Forester and that was much more labor intensive, so I was under the impression that the GMC would be as bad or worse. Today's work only took an hour and a half (I'm not a mechanic by trade).
thanks this video worked out great. Guys if your truck is from the north it will not take you 20 minutes each side i spent 2 hours total on the job which still isn't bad and also it was my first time so i'm sure next time will be faster. The part that took the longest for me was keeping the CV axle from spinning while i loosened the bolts i used a pipe wrench on the driver side and that worked but the passenger side i had to use a pry bar and wedge it between the frame and the "ears" of the axle on the inside part where the 6 bolts are just to make sure it didnt spin and that worked out great. this isn't hard to do. also I took out the bottom bolt of the shock and pushed it out the way and was able to get the axle out that way vs messing with the sway links.
Normally you can tell a CV joint is bad when it has a lot of inside play. The issue could also be the Differential bearings inside the axle itself. Removing the front cover will give you a good idea of what is going on internally.
That's a great idea to use chalk to know which bolts you've torqued -- a simple solution to a common annoying problem. Another excellent video by 1A Auto, Mike.
Waiting for replacement ! Piece of cake after watching your tutorial vid ! I had done a complete front end makeover on both sides but I accidently touched my boot with grinder cut disk on passenger side as I cut through the stab link to remove
thank you for the awesome info! I'm glad they're guys like you, helping guys like us!
Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear we could help you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
What size is the big socket
You may want to check all of the suspension parts. The ball joint could make a popping sound if they are going bad.
The step by step is the most thourogh i've seen! Thanks for making these videos.
Would this video be comparable to changing out the CV joints on a 2000 Jimmy 4x4?
Respond to this video... Currently we do not have a repair video that shows you how to remove the axle shafts on a 2000 Jimmy. Usually on a job such as that, you would need to remove the wheels, brakes and calipers, take the cotter pin out of the retaining nut that holds the Axel into position. Once the nut is removed, you should be able to tap the axel at the end once with a hammer to break it free. The you should be able to remove it from the transmission.
There could be several things going on which could include the springs, wheel bearings, or something to do with the sway bar links.
@1aauto thanks man!!! we replaced the front right axle this weekend!!! thanks so much for this how too!!!!! couldnt of done it with out you!! thanks!!!
GM made these very easy to do... You can do it without taking the wheel off if you want... I would have cleaned the mating surfaces and sprayed with fluid film....
+Steveo66 We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair.
You may be able to apply some of the basic procedures shown to your 98 Blazer.
@macgregwire23 You would need a 15MM,22MM and 35MM socket. Right at the beginning of the video there's a list of tools that you would need. Hope this helps you out.
Usually they will make a clicking or a thumping noise. If your able to move the axle by hand then they are more than likely bad.
@ggfish38 No problem at all. Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. Have a great day. 1aauto.com
@TheTexasdeerhunter Usually they'll make either a thumping or a humming noise.
This will give you the 1/4" that is needed to take the axle out, and in with the new one (need to go forward w/ axle). A jack and stand-(support frame) will be needed as you will have to move the suspended side up and down to get axle out and in. This video shows him easily taking the axle out, but notice his axle has 5 1/4 moons between the bolts, K1500's are all round. Impacts are a MUST!
Great video great money saver. To remove that great big nut on the wheel I stuck a screwdriver in the ribs of the brake disk. As you turn it will hit the brake caliper.
This is seriously the best youtube channel out there!! Thanks!
Thank you for this! Your doing all of us a GREAT!, public service.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Must be another vendor...good stuff.
Thanks for watching. If any of our viewers need to make this repair we carry the replacement axle shown in this video on our website. We also offer free shipping on all orders in the US www.1aauto.com/cv-axle-shaft/i/1aacs00008?TH-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
Great Video---very informative and precise. Answered the question; "Do I need to remove linkage also"....Thanks I replaced my Hub-bearing earlier I should of checked to see if you posted video on that as well!!!!!
It really depends on what the hourly rate of the shop is.
@Killer4112 Some of the basic procedures may be similar to the video. We carry the Haynes manuals on our website 1aauto.com that should show you how to do this also. Hope this helps you out. Have a great day.
It could be the u-joint in the axle or a wheel bearing.
I wann a say thank you 1A Auto - for this video
awesome love buying parts from you guys cause your vids
joe mo Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear we could help you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
You may be able to apply some of the basic procedures show in this video to your application. We currently do not have an auto repair video on that particular year. We'll keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future.
OMG. THIS IS EASIER THAN I THO. I BEEN HOLDING OFF ON THESE REPARE. BUT NOW IM GONNA DO IT ON MY 2010 HD. THAT NOISE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE DRIVES ME NUTS.
!For 1997 K1500 Sierra, I preformed on my, pickup 2X. DON'T take out the stabilizer link (sway bar), instead take out the shock absorber, and disconnect the tie-rod from the steering knuckle (I think that's what it's called?) you may have to use a tie-rod separator to get them apart...
I had to remove my shock/strut to get the joint to clear. It looks like you did the same but I did not notice if you stated that such removal was required.
+Tim Smith It normally shouldn't be required for this repair, so we didn't mention it. Thanks for checking out our videos!

🎉 just saved my day Much appreciated for the video
@ggfish38 Your newer truck should be similar. Usually it's easier and not to much more money to just replace the whole axle.
Great video! You saved me a bunch of work!
Excellent! Thank You and I see your are a very good tech with little things like the CV bolts to the put into transfer case one in next one 180 opposite side, same as the lug nuts. Very superb video.
We're glad the video helped you out. Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
This is a great TH-cam channel and a great video, I have a 2001 gmc sierra 5.3 sle 4wd and my truck has been making noises when I turn the wheel to the right. Its making that "old spring mattress"noise when i crank the wheel and my truck makes a sqeek noise when i drive at 20- 40 mph, almost like the brakes need to be changed, but i already replaced them. What should I do? thanks
The BEST videos!!! Thank you 1A Auto!

Another great video, thanks. I wish I could do this type of work myself.
Thanks for watching.

your videos are the best! i have 06 silverado.
TheSummit396 Thanks for watching. We're glad you liked it. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
If only one has gone bad you can change just one.
Do you have a video showing the driver side shaft? Can I replace it in the same manner as this on a 98 Blazer? I am told the driver side shaft has a retaining ring that I can just pop out and pop in a new one. Am I way off here? Love your videos. Thanks!
Yes, the bolts should be torqued to their proper torque settings. You can do this in your driveway at home. A breaker bar will help to break the rusty bolts free. harborfreight com has a really nice 25" one that I've purchased for $10.99, that will make the job easier to do. Hope this helps you out.

You may hear a thumping noise while you're driving, or maybe even a popping noise when you turn. If you can move the axle up and down quite a bit, it may need to be replaced. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Awesome work guys. Nice work
+Dave Sanderson Thanks for the kind words. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
I love your videos! there always so helpful!
@joey72988 The process may not be exactly the same, but should be similar.
Thank you for visiting our auto repair channel on TH-cam. Have a great day 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
I notices you only removed the stabilizer link-is that all thats necessary? I noticed in another video they had taken the whole nuckle off -is that necessary to replace the axle?
+Jamie Hodkin Thank you for checking us out. Based upon the application you will only need to remove the sway bar link to get room for removing the axle. In other applications you must disconnect the knuckle in order to get the clearance. 1aauto.com
Is the procedure the same for a 1500 Yukon? Or do you have to remove the hub?
You should torque that nut at the correct torque setting. It's a matter of safety, and your hub bearings may wear prematurely if the nut isn't torqued right. HarborFreightcom carry's decent tools that do not cost a great deal of money. You might want to see what they have. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Good Video.... Helped Alot... Thanks
Great video!! Thank you
Great video guys! Immensely helpful
We're glad the video helped you out. Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Nice video have watched a few u made sure helps alot ,how do you check these to make sure they are bad.Would this cause a vibration at 35-50 mph
HI Kelly,
They may cause a vibration. If you can move them by hand, or if they seem like there's play in them then they should be replaced. You may also want to check the sway bar end links, to see if they're worn and they may cause a shake in the wheel at higher speeds. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
how long does it take to do this? would this be any different on a newer style chevy silverado 2500hd? my cv axel pulled apart is there a way that can be fixed or do i need to go ahead and get a whole new cv joint?
Ok. Can you tell me what would make my truck hard to control over rough road? It seems to want to go left or right easily especially when braking on rough road. Is this something that bad CV joints would cause?
I love this channel!
Hello, first thanks for the great video! I used this to guide me on swapping out the half axle on a 2002 Tahoe. Well now my drivers side half axle on my 2002 Silverado basically shattered. My question is are the bolts that fasten the axle available for purchase at a normal auto parts store? Also I think the bolts broke off so will I need to purchase the part that the axle mounts too? thanks in advance!
You may be able to get some new bolts from the dealer. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
@1aauto yes thank you so much and the video is great
Excellent video! Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
That wz in easy way too do it .. Thats cool.. 👍👍nice job.. Now i know ...
How can you tell the difference between a bad front differential and/or it's bearings and a bad CV joint? I've had a low growl that gets worse with speed. I've replaced both front HUB assemblies and taken out both CV's, but they don't feel bad. If you're holding one in your hands, how can you tell one is bad?
It it's a 00-07 then it should be the same or very similar.
I do have a question I need help with. I lowered my torsion keys on the front end of my 4x4 truck pretty low (I'd say 3 inches) ...and I was wondering if that can harm the CV joints in anyway?? They were horizontally straight, but after lowering, they are both now, at about 45 degrees .....is that bad?
You should need to to gain the clearence.
thank you so much for this video !!!!!!! really thank you!!!!!!
Great video. Can you tell me what the replacement bolts for the flange are? Does 1A sell these?
+Jonathan Busch Thanks for watching! We do not actually sell the replacement bots so we do not have the spec on them. You should be able to reuse your originals like we do in the video, but if not you will have to source them elsewhere. 1aauto.com
is this same for a non hd 1500 4x4
Ok I have 1998 Chevy express 1500 is the cv axle for the driverside the same as the one for the 1998 Silverado 1500
So, I am going to attempt to replace my broken one. Do I need a specific one for my 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 6 inch lift? Does it having a lift make a difference on a specific one that I would need? Thanks
+flytuc1 Yes, the parts we carry are for the OE ride height. Thank you for checking us out!
Wow almost a million followers😄
+TERMINATOR 6.6 Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thanks Biff Wellington
Are both sides similar to change and would a 1500 Silverado be like this. Thanks
Do you need to take the stabilizer link out in order to pull the axle out? It almost seems like once it is dropped on one end it pulls right out
+Steven Bevan It would help you more if you do that!
Can I expect a similar process on my 05 trailblazer? Thank you
They should be similar. You should be able to apply some of the basic steps shown in this video to your application. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
today I'm going to be replacing the cv axle on a Mazda 2005 I'm changing 150 dls you think that was reasonable price
will this work the same on a z71 silverado 1500 ? i thought i had take the upper ball joint lose from the spindle or whatever
Thanks for posting this stuff. Is the axle nut removed with the 35 mm socket?
+Ben Dog Yes it should be 35MM. We carry the replacement axle shafts shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them www.1aauto.com/1A/Axleshaft/Chevy/Silverado/1AACS00008?TH-cam&CTA%20Comment&
Thank you sir!! I'll look you guys up when I'm ready to replace mine.
Thanks again
Ben Dog it's a 36mm
Hi I ran into an issue installing my oem replacement CV axle from gm for my driver's side and for some reason it will not reach the CV flange I tried to force it all together and tried jacking it the truck up and down and nothing was making it go on there yes I made sure it was oem it's exactly the same as the passenger side one what could cause this??
Thank you so much for the videos ive already watch, however i have a 96 silverado is the process similar?
We currently do not have an auto repair video for this particular application. It may be a little different than the one shown in the video. We do carry replacement axles on our website with FREE SHIPPING in the lower 48 states. Here's a link to the 1996 K2500 axles if you would like to see what we carry. Hope this helps you out. www.1aauto.com/1A/axles-and-axleshafts/Chevy/K2500-Truck/-/-/1996?VideoReply&TH-cam&ATony
1A Auto Parts thank you i did replace it and its the exact same other than the stabilizer bar is a lot harder to access so i undid the suspension to maneuver the axle in place but thank you for all ur help and ur videos
Caleb Waites Thanks for checking us out. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Outstanding!
hi nice vid quick question my cv joint is done so i cant use the lugs to hold it still to remove the nuts on the axle would it work if i just put it in 4 wheel drive would that hold it?
You may be able to use a pipe wrench on the axle, to hold it in place so that you can break the nuts free. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Yeah tried that no luck what did work for anyone else with a similar issue is i cut the boot open cleared the debre and jammed a socket driver inside againt the tines of the shaft and then let it rest on the bottem strut
Good one !!!
hi I have a 2001 gmc sierra and the left front axle is making noises, what is it?
just the bearing or the differential problem
Will a 99 come off similar?
Thank you!
did this repair and 1 of the 6 flange bolts broke as I was tightening them. Checked you website (and others), no one seems to have a listing/category for these bolts (cv bolt, cv axle bolt, half axle bolt, flange bolt, etc.). is there a size and specific material required for the bolts? Is my truck safe to drive with just 5 of the bolts holding the axle?
+Samuel Karabaich I am sorry to hear that happened! We do not recommend you drive the vehicle with a missing axle bolt. That is most likely going to be a dealer part, so you may want to give them a call to see if you can get one. 1aauto.com
very good job!!!!
Thank you for watching!
1aauto.com 888-844-3393
cool
Are both sides the same length?
Do you have to have both wheels off the ground or can you jack up one side of the truck?
It may be easier to lift the front of the vehicle off of the ground. You may be able to lift the side you need to replace off of the ground. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
