Subject: Re: Friday 10-26 by Matatk on 2018/10/26 18:59:29 Good Afternoon CGs! Yesterday I took to the task of changing out the CV axle in the wife's Nissan Rogue. Replacement OEM axle is in the $450 range. I decided to go with a new aftermarket axle from O'Reilly's. 92 bucks is a little easier to swallow. So I got it torn apart and threw the new axle in without too much difficulty. I've heard of people having problems with them but I actually beat book time. Took it for a short jaunt around the neighborhood and seemed good. Had a few other tasks to accomplish throughout the day. Later in the evening I took the car for a longer drive to pick up some food. Got it out on the roadway and that axle was vibrating like a MFr. Damn it. This morning I dropped the kids off and had to go over to my mom's house to install a new storm door. I got that knocked out in about 2 hours. Stopped at a different O'Reilly's on the way home and bought another axle so I can swap it out tonight. Hopefully that fixes the problem. It's a pretty well-documented fact that Nissan has problems with aftermarket axles and sometimes it takes a few to get a good one. Great. Hope everyone has a great day! |
