I looked into something I came across the other day while trying to troubleshoot my transmission problem on my 03 Envoy XL. This is a video of the passenger side CV axle going into the Axle Disconnect. I originally thought it was not fully seated but it feels like the internal retaining clip is still holding.
Loose axle at axle disconnect
Not having ever done a repair on this, I’m not sure of what is actually bad. Would it just be a seal or bearing that's bad and not holding the axle solidly in place or is the entire axle disconnect shot and needs to be replaced?
I haven’t used 4wd in over 2 years and at this point in my trucks life, I don’t foresee the need to use it. I think I’ve seen in the past there is a way to just eliminate it. Is it just a matter of removing both axles?
