it appears your car is not currently on. Try turning it on.

If it’s any consolation, your car works better than the grammar in the name of the company that truck belongs to....”Thing Is To Move Inc.” doesn’t make any sense at all!

It runs, turns, and stops. Up until a half hour ago, it went, too.

I’ve been in a car when it still ran, turn, and went, but decided not to be able to stop.

Actually don’t.  That will probably make things worse.  Don’t want any additional stress to the check engine light. :-P

Yeah, I like my situation better. Go is the best of the four to not have.

There is a CEL, but it's completely unrelated to the broken CV joint.

To all my haters out there that said a 22 year old VW would be unreliable: yeah, you right.

Man, yesterday we brought my son for his 12 month vaccines. Posted on the main entrance to the gov ernment run P ublic Health Unit was a sign that read the following:

“Doors are lock’d during evenings and weekends”

Apostrophe d, ffs.

Want to bet the problem is a part that’s made out of cheap plastic, but will somehow cost you hundred or thousands to get it fixed. German engineering...

I had a 1995 Golf that eventually turned into a heap. In 1996.

No, it's the passenger's side outer CV joint. It started making noise Saturday, and I ordered the part Sunday. It's getting here Friday, but Jolene couldn't wait.

I guess in his defense the company COULD be called ‘To Move Inc.’ and belong to a guy named Thing?

Raxles makes good axles

One of the schools I teach at has a sign in the staff bathroom that says:

“Please flush tiolet after you use it, thanks!”

....I thought us teachers were supposed to be good at spelling?

I got a Heri from RockAuto for $45. The only other option for manual cars was some chinese stuff, so I paid like five bucks more to avoid the possibility of Chinesium.

Believe it or not, I ordered one of the cheapo chinese ones for my project, f igured for $22 if it makes it a month I don’t care.

When it arrived and I checked it out, it was a better built axle than anything I’ve gotten from the parts stores recently. The joints are all tight and it has the larger diameter shaft.

Hm. Where did you order from? And yeah, optimally I would like for this to last more than a month. Three years would be optimal.

Rockauto. It’s an Omni 5 brand. And I was wrong, it was $14.46 + Shipping.

Cheapest one at the parts store is $61 for a garbage Cardone new axle, which have smaller than factory shafts, which leads to breaking axles (ask me how i know), which is one of the main reasons I only buy remans anymore.

I drive a promaster so I know that spot on the side of the road! You trying to take my title of most breakdowns?!?!?! promaster 100% serious has 21k of repairs in 2.5 years :)

I didn't even go to a parts store. Cheapest on RA was $35, most expensive was like $55, so I went middle of the road. I didn't think about a reman, but what's done is done.

That’s a ton, holy cow. Repairs have all been done by me in my ownership. In two months, all I’ve done is O2 and air filter. This weekend, my plan is CV axle, distributor, timing belt, water pump, fuel pump/sending unit.  In parts, that will bring me to about 350, or 25% of the car’s initial cost.

Heri isn’t Chinese too? :p

Well, if it fails, or doesn’ t work for some reason, get Raxles.

yeah mine i s a fleet trust me if I owned this thing it would have been 5k tops but dealers eyes turn to dollar signs when a fleet car rolls in.

good luck! I hope it does actually work for you.

And if not, there’s always Raxles. (so keep your old OE axle so you can send it back as a core. Raxles only accepts OE cores)

New axles for Mopars went to a cheaper design with smaller shafts and less sturdy joints. They break easily, even under stock power levels.

Not sure if other new axles share the same issue, but that’s why I only go with remans now.

I hope everything works out for you.

Good Luck.
