when i drive my car it jerks to the left, and makes a noise, i was told it was rack and pinion, i replaced it steering is stiffer but the same problem occurs, i have a rip in the cv boot, i was now told the axle is snapped and has play inside causing it to jerk it also clicks just going straight from the driver side tire. could it also be a wheel bearing? if you have a axle for cheap let me know asap thanks guys

 

bump

 

its for a b16 tranny

 

I have one. Is yours the female or male kind. Mines a male type.

 

i dont think i know the difference?

 

Well its where it connects to the intermediate shaft it will either be a female end like something can be inserted into it or a male end like you would insert it into something.

 

i need the whole axle

 

Yeah I know but you need to find out what kind it is, you would need to remove it to find out but I'm assuming its a female type. But if you find out its a male type I have an extra axle that I would sell for 30 bucks or 60 if you need it installed also

 

do you know if a broken axle or bad axle would cause steering wheel to jerk violently? i replaced rack and pinion thinking that was the problem, tie rods are fine ball joints are fine and new rack and pinion. only 2 other things i can think of are wheel bearing and axle???

 

Wheel bearing would have been making a ton of noise before it would get to the point of causing major drivability problems but its hard to tell without seeing it in person
