Re: cv joint issue????

The steering knuckle will have to be released from one end or the other. I've found the upper ball joint is easier. Fortunately, the torsion bar is a lot easier to deal with than a coil spring. The wheel, hub nut, caliper, and ABS sensor will have to be removed and held up out of the way. It may be easier to remove the outer tie rod end as well since the steel tube housing the half-shaft will allow only a little movement of the shaft to clear out the end, so the knuckle will have to be moved well out of the way.

You can replace just the CV joint assembly. They include a new boot and usually a warranty.
