I am replacing the front CV axels on my older Japanese car - drivers side went fine. Passenger side was leaking after a few hundred feet. I took it apart again and found a smashed garter spring right at the end of the cv axle seal. The actual deal looks ok. I am trying to find a replacement, any ideas where to get such a thing? The shops near me didn't have the axle seals so I don't think they will have a garter spring. I get the idea that this is part of the seal, is this even necessary if the seal is in place?
if the bolt pattern fits what's the difference between honda and toyota wheels?
I'll tell you a junk yard story...
Hand rest on the beamer had ripped leather that was abrasing my elbow. I got a vinly kit to replace it, but when I removed the arm rest it was all cracked and couldn't be put back. So I went to 8 pick n pulls. One had the part but it was rusted on. Finally on my way home, on my last pick n pull, I found this part for $10 but in black instead of walnut. Whatever. The car was worth about $3k and this part was $900 on ebay.
