Pontiac
Grand Prix GTP Supercharged
3800 V-6

My car was jumping and it seemed like the passenger side front wheel was wobbling. So i replaced the cv joint but when i put the new one in, I notice it still had alot of play once inside the transmission.. Could it be the gears??? All assistance is needed Or is this be or is there anyway i could possibly get a diagram??

What kind of play? You verify you have the correct axle? Always compare your old axle input shaft to the transmission to your new one. I had one Friday that looked the same but the axle input shaft had a smaller diameter.

Did you check hub bearing for looseness? Axle shafts usually don't cause the wheel to wobble. That is usually a worn out tie rod, control arm bushing, ball joint, or wheel bearing that causes that.

Very important to be sure that your axle nut is tightened to specification (159 ft lbs) because that preloads the hub bearing.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
