Ok, I just checked for slack with the car down on the ground. The joint isn't budging. I'm getting a small amount of in and out movement on the CV axle, but I believe that is normal for the inner joint, no?

The video was with the car on jack stands, so the suspension/tires/etc. were under the influence of gravity.

If it helps, the Tire Kingdom $20 inspection took over an hour and at one point had 3 technicians under my car trying to find something to blame. They did say that the tires had some minor cupping, but not bad enough to cause the vibration. Last edited by capevape; 23 Jun 2019 at 07:57 pm. |

Check the 4.72" dimension for the motor struts, as this may be a partial problem.
Rob stated the slop of the inner CV joint splines seemed excessive [from your video]. I agree. The splines of the intermediate shaft locate the inner CV joint. They should be a nice close slip fit. The pink ring locates the splines lengthwise. Do not pull the outer shaft off the int. shaft. Pry it off from the opposite side. The video shows a different shaped inner CV joint compared to Handy's pictures. Wrong part? Thank you Handy for the clear pictures. Nice clean engine, too. Your last pic showed a greasy hand. This is the chance you take when you shake hands with a working man. |

Should the fit of the Inner CV joint on the Intermediate shaft be snug regardless of the position of the half shaft? (for example, when it is on jack stands versus when it is on the ground) When I removed the half shaft, I followed the Haynes manual and tapped it off of the Intermediate shaft with a brass punch. Are you saying I should have pried it off instead? While it is possible that I was sold the wrong part, I don't think the look of the part compared to Handy's photo would dictate that I have the wrong part as I have seen many similar shapes for the inner joint. The most important thing for me is that I compared it to the one that I took off of the car and it was identical. Can anyone verify on their own Turbo model with the wheel jacked up, that there is no play on that joint? A video would be very helpful. Thank you everyone for the wonderful information! |

Here is another video in which you can clearly see the intermediate shaft bearing. IF there is a problem with the intermediate shaft, it would be something with the splines (or the female splines on the inner cv joint). I would love to see if anyone else is getting any excessive play on this setup before I dump money on more parts that won't fix my issue.

I'd recommend buying a Haynes manual for PT Cruisers. About $20 - $30 bucks. It has a good diagram for the 4.72" [or 119 MM] dimension.
Pounding the outer axle outward is good. Pulling off the outer axle is bad. You might rip the rubber boot off. The splines on the CV joint must be 'snug' at all times. Otherwise the splined CV joint 'shell' will wobble. |
