I just replaced my front strut on my scrambler and when i was testing it out the right side cv-joint poped out. I think the c-clip must have poped off some how. I was checking the 4x4 turning left and right testing it out. The shaft just poped out and busted the boot. Now i need to know how the c-clip pops back into the spindle. how do you rebuild the cv-joint. I was thinking of buying another boot, c-clip, and boot clamps and then trying to re-assemble it. but not sure how it pops back together. Any help is awesome i dont want to buy another 300$ front cv-joint assembly. I didnt even get to drive the thing yet after all the mods i keep on replacing things. help please

 

you put the clip on the shaft then when you go to put it together give it a good rap with a rubber mallet and it will pop back together. Just make sure you take your time and look at things as you reassemble the joint because the star that is in the center of all the bearings has to face in the right direction so the clip will catch. Take your time and its a fairly easy job. Keep us posted

 

Thanks im going to clean the splines and bearing and reassenble the cv-joint. Hope everything goes together good i want to take it for a rip tomorow.
