Altis Velocity Joint

[Djerms]

Simula na ng gastos!

Oh well, Im expecting to spend for the repair of the suspension parts of my Altis since I bought it 2nd hand.

Last time I had it checked, may problem na daw ang velocity joint (same as CV joint?). Sabi nung mechanic I can wait for it to get a little worse namane daw since I hear the "toktok" sound during turning at slightly high speeds.

Nagtanong ako sa Toyota last night how much yung velocity joint, they quoted me a whopping 30k! May iba pa ba akong options?

Thanks.

try mo muna pa repack lang ng mgandang moly based grease.

di ba around 2003-2004 model yung altis mo, parang ang bilis namang masira ng Constant Velocity Joint nyan kung yun nga, hindi basta-basta nasisira ang CVJ unless may punit yung boots nyan at napabayaan pasukan ng dumi etc etc

subukan mo muna, iliko-liko mo left/right, forward/reverse on full wheel lock yung oto, kung wala ka marinig na tok tok tok na sunod-sunod, it's not CV joint.

the tok tok sound your hearing probably comes from another source and not the CV joint.

that's almost the same problem I had on my 10 y/o car, I thought my CVJ's are going yun pala yung ball joint bumigay na.

Patingin mo muna sa iba.

Artpogi,
Yup 03 model yung sakin. Sige I might have it checked nalang sa iba and get a second opinion. Thanks for the tip. I might go to Autotechnika this PM to have it checked

onga parang ambilis ata masira ah...ung cv joint ng crv ko dati 6th year bago pinalitan, nearing 100k odo

[niwde11]

bb; kala yata ni djerms dmax pa rin dala nya, yung esi ko dati nabenta ko na after 12 years(9+,+++km) di ko napalitan cv joint.

Grabe yung mahal ng CV, kahit orig pa yun. Yung replacement for Sentra S3, German-made, 1.2k each lang.

Ok naman replacement joints basta reputable ang brand at ang seller (para hindi fake).

Ang aga ata bumigay. Baka makuha pa sa repack.

Nawala na nung pinalitan ng bagong CV joint. Nakakuha si autotechnika ng japan made na CV joint. Nakita ko yung box japan naman. Cost me only 5,700 for replacing both joints and both lower arm bushings.

Sana okay na. At siguro naman tatagal. Hindi naman ako mahilig mag slalom. hehehe.
