Brilliant video, well put together. Much simpler than other guides that suggest disconnecting the strut etc. Any issues I ran into, just looked back through your video again and there were the answers. Very much appreciated and saved me $800!!!
Great video man. Im about to do the passenger side cv axle on my 2018 Forester. On the highway at speeds above 72mph and only when turning slightly (left or right) i get a sort of rumble. Going straight its fine. But I did get the front end in the air to check for play in the wheel bearing and it seemed super solid. So I’m hoping the cv replacement will fix it!
Thanks! Did you purchase the CV axle already? If not, I would look at it first. For example, mine was clearly damaged as I could see grease everywhere. It was on the inside of the rims and around the axle. Also, if you can grab the axle and move it in and out, is another sign. If you don’t see either of those, I would consider looking elsewhere to solve the problem. Possibly unbalanced wheel. The cv axle isn’t cheap, so I would hate for you to spend that kind of money, and that not be the problem.👍🏾
Did you end up replacing the CV axle and did it solve your issue? I have basically the EXACT same issue you've described, also 2018 Forester. I've already bought the new CV axles though, so hoping that actually is the solution!
Remember to be cautious with the new boots. At first I was so focused on getting it into position, that I wasn’t thinking about damaging the new boot. Luckily I thought about it before it was too late.👍🏾

I’m having left side issues. Should I replace left and right at same time or ok to just replace left where issue is?? Great video!! Thanks 🙏🏻
@@Damon_Jay thanks! If you are financially able to replace both, I would do both. If not, then just do the left side.👍🏾
Great video thanks 🙏👍. Just curious, what's the mileage now on your Forester?
Thanks! I’m currently at 106k. My CV axle probably went bad around 100k.
When im turning slow it feels like my tires are vibrating or like how 4x4 feels when it’s locked in. Could this be my cv axles ?
@@coopmike9761 good question. Unfortunately I don’t have the answer for you. Sorry
Nice video! What is happening at the 6:06 mark?
Thanks! @ 6:06 I’m punching the nut so it doesn’t back out.👍🏾
I need to do this on my 2019 forester
