Mazda 323 CV Joint

Depending on a variable that allows the engine to transfer power to the front wheels even as they lift, drop, and turn, the Mazda 323 is equipped with a CV Joint. These flexible joints are mounted at each end of each front half shaft to ensure that the rotational speed remains constant no matter what the steering or suspension movement does to interrupt drive torque. The outer end of the Mazda on all early hatchbacks and subsequent sedans uses a fixed Rzeppa style joint, operating at steeper angles, whereas the inner side uses a plunging tripod joint or double-offset joint, which slides in and out with the change in shaft length during bump or rebound. This separation of work eliminates binding and lessens shaking. When the protective rubber that covers any CV Joint tears, the grease leaks out, dirt pours in, and soon the balls and grooves are grinding. Turning causes clicking noticed by the driver, which indicates outer joint wear, and acceleration results in shudders and clunks, indicating inboard wear. The highly appropriate defense against expensive failure is therefore regular boot checks. Over the years Mazda perfected joint geometry, although the fundamental system remained unchanged, with steel balls rotating in machined tracks and a cage that maintains them at a constant distance. The same principles are applied to every CV Joint whether it is a first-generation 323 runabout or a subsequent Mazda compact, so power is delivered quietly and efficiently.

    Q: What factors should be considered when overhauling the CV Joint and CV Joint Boot on Mazda 323?
    A:
    When the CV joints need overhauling, usually because of the torn boots, it is better to consider all the possibilities and then begin the job. Whole rebuilt CV joints are available under exchange basis, and this saves a lot of time and effort. Whichever approach is adopted, check the cost and the availability of parts before disassembling the vehicle. Start by taking off the CV joint then clamping it to a vise with jaws lined with wood in order to prevent the destruction of the Axle Shaft. Test the CV joint for excessive radial play, or worn parts, and also check that it has no difficulty in operating in all directions of motion. In case of the tear on a boot, dismantle the joint, wash the parts and examine the damages caused by the loss of lubrication or contamination. Take a small screwdriver to loosen and remove the retaining tabs on the clamps. Carefully loosen the outer boot off the CV joint, and in case of need cut away old boots. Tripod and axle shaft are marked by sliding the housing out of the tripod, and the inner CV joint boot is pulled back, which is then returned to the tripod to complete the reassembly of the tripod and axle shaft. Use snap-ring pliers to remove the tripod joint snap-ring then drive the tripod joint off the CV joint with a hammer and brass punch without damaging the bearing surfaces or splines. Wipe every part with solvent and examine the bearing surfaces for wear. Assuming that the inner CV joint is worn-out, a new inner joint may be fitted to the old axle shaft, or assumed that a new outer joint and axle shaft are needed, these are sold as a complete set. To put back together, wrap the splines on the axle shaft using electrical tape to cover the boots then slide the clamps and boot(s) over the shaft and place the tripod on the shaft. When it comes to a right side CV joint, put the dynamic damper and a new clamp in place in front of the inner boot. Wipe the tripod assembly and the housing inside with grease, attach the tripod and stuff grease about it. Make sure that the boot is firmly seated in its grooves, and set the length of the CV joint to a standard level, and balance the pressure in the boot, then tighten and fix the clamps.
