How long can a popping CV joint last?
I have been driving with a bad inner cv joint for about a year now. It doesn't rattle when you turn it vibrates when accelarating when going uphill. (Not wheel allignment). Obviously i use it in town only and i dont go fast. I've done about 10.000 km. I mean to fix it next month.

Pulled me right into an empty bus stop. Very lucky. The front had been very "floaty" for a few weeks, but at the time I was ignorant and dumb. Called a tow truck and had it towed to in front of the house where I rented the "garden" apartment. Learned about a pickle fork the next day and fixed it. Think I did the tie rods and ends too. Of course it wasn't FWD. Some years later my wife's '85 Cavalier started clicking when turning right. Took it to my mechanic with no second thought. He replaced a halfshaft. It was cheaper than I expected, about 150 bucks parts and labor. My son's first car was a '93 Corsica. Unknown to me, he bought a junkyard Getrag and converted it to a stick. I found out when he dropped a too short halfshaft 3 blocks from the house. I was mad about it, but softened when I realized the work he had invested in it. Had it towed home and told him to call a halfshaft specialist. He didn't know they existed. He found one, and had it on the road the next day. He drove that car for years. |
