Does this sound like a bad/worn CV axle shaft?
I took my vehicle into a front end shop because I was having bad vibrations in my front end, and in my steering wheel. A little bit in the gas pedal as well. The shop said I had a bad front differential, and a bad driver side axle shaft. I do know that I don't have any symptoms of a bad front differential. No noises whatsoever. All I have is a vibration in the front end, and in the steering wheel. I have had my tires balanced, and had an alignment here recently. Not the issue! Again there are no noises whatsoever like a howl, roar.etc There does feel like a little bit of scraping/grinding as I'm pushing on the gas pedal though. If I do indeed have a bad driver side CV axle shaft, there isn't any clicking noises when I make turns, or go around curves. I just don't think it's my CV axle shaft because all I have is a vibration & lite scraping. I could be wrong though!

Get the wheel balance rechecked, 99% of front vibration comes from out of balance wheels, get the rears checked as well
- When a Ford Coil Pack goes bad, does it do so all at once or does it show symptoms first? 96 Windstar is not firing, did not run rough, never hesitated, always silky smooth idle & acceleration, good MPG, no smoke, no rotten egg smell… This morning (warm weather) it will not fire.
- Is anyone else growing tired of the worn out Ford Mustang? It seems like every couple of months there's another one. Come up with something completely new. Or bring back the Thunderbird. The Mustang is a chick car. These cars have no soul and no life in them period. Even the venerable Dodge and Chevy can't make a good car anymore.
- Is it bad to drive with a faulty output shaft speed sensor circuit? My transmission light came on yesterday so I did a code check and got the code P0720 and P0722 meaning the speed sensor is not working properly. Is it harmful to drive the car with it malfunctioning? I drive a manual transmission 2001 ford focus, I haven't noticed any change in the way the car drives or shifts.
- My 79 ford f250 doesn't have the same front axle as in the haynes manual, and it looks like an 80s axle? But my dads 85 has a different front axle then the one in the haynes for his year. This whole situations just confusing, all I want to do is get my axles out. Mine looks like it has an outer piece thats held in with a snap ring but after I removed the snap ring it just won't come out. Can't find anything online about it either. Any suggestions?
