Cv slop and vibration

I apologize in advance if there is a topic on this, my home internet is down and I can't search with my phone.

So I replaced my cv last week and havnt had any problems. Well I was on a rough road yesterday and now it get vibs from 40 to 50 mph. I looked under my truck and where the cv going into the differential there is space and I can move the cv back and fourth probably 2 to 3 centimeters. did the rough road cause my cv to come loose or something?

 

Are you sure you seated the clip all the way when installing the CV?

 

Ya I double checked it to before putting everything back together. But I'm thinking the rough road maybe tweeked the ring

 

maybe. I've actually never replaced a CV so Im not really familiar with how they work. Maybe someone else will chime in with more info.

 

I hope so because I'm pissed I'm going to have to take it all apart again

Thanks tho stephen

 

Does anyone know where I can get a new snap ring just in case that is the problem?

 

You should not be able to pull it out of the transmission by hand.

 

free bump for ya OP

 

Look in one of the dealer's online parts catalogs. The snap ring should be in there.

The snap ring should hold the half shaft in with enough tension to require a pry bar to pull it out.

 

Ok, I'm going to pull it and replace it with a new snap ring.
