I have noticed a slight wobble from the front axel while making tight turns (parking etc.). Is the universal joint replaceable on the axel or do I needto purchase a whole new axel on both sides? And, is there a web-site to show me how to make the repair?
thank you,
Rich

have the steering components checked including the ball joints. As far as the axles, they come with CV boots and joints. It will actually save money havin them installed becuae of replacement time.
