Inner rfs cv joint seems bad

[Jim Vander Wal]

Apex,

The bolt in CV is for the newer style center, cars in the #2500++ range. You would be correct if the diff was the newer style.

#1764 as indicated by Tortuga uses the late '80's Super Coupe IRS, this was also used in the one or two Mustang IRS cars pre the 2015 change. The CV buckets push in and are held by a retaining clip inside the diff, not bolts. Prying the bucket out is the normal procedure.

Good to know. Bolt on inners also are present on cars built with the Dana from the ‘04-‘06 GTO like mine but did not know what car numbers those covered. I know nothing about the earlier cars. The Dana has retaining clips as well so you can take the CV out with the output flange attached but I generally wouldn’t.

Is the little yoke thing which gave up all of its roller bearings: the surface of the big housing doesn't look all that bad considering there were dozens of little roller bearings free in there: BUT thinking about it those bearings while driving straight ahead ar nt turning right? Those rollers just need to fit snug in the big housing and be able to rotate slightly with bumps and turns right?

Really just need a new yoke and bearings pressed on after the old one comes off?
