My wife's car ('14 pursuit charger) has developed a vibration between 50 and 65
I took a look underneath it and found and interesting issue with the front CV joints
pic 1, passenger side, outside, with wheel at full lock, looks fine
pic 2, passsenger side, inside, wheel at full lock, there is a little grease there, so im guessing the inner boot is shot, no?
pic 3, drivers side, outside, wheel at full lock, looks fine
pic 4, drivers side, inside, the booth is completely compressed and it looks like it is broken
pic 5, drivers side, outside, wheels straight. looks fine, but it does look like this booth has been compressed a little
pic 6, passenger side, outside, wheel straight. looks fine, notice no shiny edge where the driver side seems to rub on itself
pic 7, drivers side, inside.
sorry for the lousy pic, but look at where the clamp is on comparison to the bolt
now compare it to picture 8
pic 8, passenger side, inside
see the bolt, and the clamp?
see how they almost overlap, where on the drivers side they do not?
am i crazy, or is my drivers side VC joint simply not installed propperly?
it almost looks like it never got tapped "home"
you know, there is usually a little C clip that holds it in place that may need some convincing
i think it never got convinced
thoughts?
