Hello All,
I have a question which I'm hoping someone can assist me with. While completing some other front end suspension work on my 2002 TB LTZ I noticed that the front right CV axle had a little play in it (about 1/16 -1/8 inch) when moving it left to right (from CV joint to wheel hub) and can autally hear the axle clanking the wheel hub when moving it back and forth. Is this normal? The left side has no play in at all so I'm assuming not. I also had the notorious grease spray from the same CV boot area but didn't have any rips in it so not sure what was could be causing this to happen. Is there a link to the 2?
So.... I bring it into the local GMC dealer to have them look at it especially since this part is covered under my extended warranty. Well then tell me that this is completly normal on most of thier vehicles and was just curious if this is a true statement? I'm ok with the answer either way since it's covered under warranty (if I prove to them that there should be NO play in the movement) and no need to worry if it's actually normal movement.
Can someone please tell me if this is normal or not?
Note: I do not have the CV joint clicking sound when turning so it looks like the CV joint is still good.
Thanks so much
