Re: Separate lower ball joint 2007 Tahoe
On this subject, could someone please explain to me why the CV axle outboard end is bolted to the wheel bearing? The splined connection transmits the torque, and the inboard end is bolted to the diff flange, so it would seem to me that the "free" end should just be allowed to float within the splines?

Thanks,

Alex
