Had Cv joint axle replaced recently and upon replacing the passenger side.I've noticed that when turning left and giving my car gas all it does is rev up.It doesn't actually accelerate until I straighten out the wheel.That's after the passenger side cv joint axle was replaced. Does this mean the installation didn't seat properly or ??? It only does this when making left turns.

 

If you think it's the axle, I'd crank it hard and then reach in there to grab the axle and see if its loose on the transmission side.

I will say I've never seen that before though. Theres like 2 inches of spline engagement so it would have to pull out almost to the point of falling out of the transmission to do that (and then absolutely cook the diff with that huge speed delta).

Have you checked the fluid? I wonder if its uncovering the pickup on turns one way only due to low fluid.

 

SO, I am in both the W-Body and N-Body communities. One of the big N-Body/Grand Am guys mentioned a new problem in that world... Part vendors have incorrectly merged the CV Half Shaft part numbers for the N-Body and another platform.... This new topic has introduced CV half shafts that are not long enough for the N-Body even though they fit.

If I recall, the N-Body and W-Body shafts are different diameters. Hopefully this issue does not follow (hopefully it gets corrected).

 

I feel dumb now so surprise I was low on transmission fluid must have lost more then thought when the axle was replaced. Much appreciate your help
