blk00ss Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Was doing front struts my son's 2014 SE. Easy job, done them many times on other vehicles. Passenger side as I was releasing top bolt to knuckle like jumped out at me as if it were spring loaded Tried to push the top of the knuckle and pivot it back up as you should be able to do (it should move freely when swinging up and down), but nothing. The wheel assembly (brakes, rotor etc) will not swing up now for me to be able to bolt strut to knuckled. Its almost like the CV popped completely out and now we're hitting a wall. Weirdest thing I've ever experienced when doin struts. even had bottom of control arm supported with a jack so we decided to cut the inner boot against tranny and remove the CV to see if maybe we goofed something. at that inside end of that cv are three wheels that go inside the cup. They will not go back in cup. any ideas? I've got two other close friends who also do lots of mechanic work dumbfounded by this as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Not much help, but I would try popping the end out of the transmission and get it all on a bench to see if you can fit it together. Aftermarket axle might be in order too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk00ss Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Ended up changing CV, slid right in back into position where original "WAS". Still no clue what happened nor why the OEM CV jumped out like that and decided to stretch but not willing to go back into place. Never see anything like it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
