Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / December 2005very weird!
i heard weird clanking on the front left side wheel then about 10 seconds later the car just stopped (95 camry le)... now it just makes really weird sounds when in drive or reverse, won't go and GET THIS, can be pulled forward or back while set in park with the motor off! anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance Sounds like you have a broken axle/CV on the left side. Both axles have to be connected in order for the car not to move in park. Samething with the car running and put in drive, the axle thats broken off is making the noise you here banging around. If you ever got stuck in snow you know what I'm talking about, one wheel turning like mad but the other sides not doing anything.

C-V joint failure. The alternative is much nastier and involves a new transmission. --scott  Signature"C'est un Nagra.

Whatever it actually turns out to be, it sounds to me like you're pretty well "skrewt" until you get a mechanic in there to fix whatever it was you neglected horribly for many many miles before it finally broke.

It cost $355 with towing (the guy recommended to replace both axles) >>i heard weird clanking on the front left side wheel then about 10 seconds >>later the car just stopped (95 camry le)... now it just makes really weird [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > ----------- > Alex >Thank you guys so much, you were right on, it was a snapped cv and i didn't >have to go to the mechanic without a clue about the situation. It cost $355 >with towing (the guy recommended to replace both axles) The first time this ever happened to me, I was horrified at how much the labor cost was to install one simple component. The second time it happened to me, I did it myself, and I found out why the labor cost was so high. The third time it happened to me, I paid the money gladly and was very thankful I didn't have to do it myself. --scott Signature"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."
