Hi,

I am new here, but I am glad I've found this forum.

I have a 1998 Lumina and when I turn the steering wheel while I am driving into a curve it cracks on the front site and also when I break harder.
What can this be?

Thx

it is possible that one or both of the cv joints is shot. this is on the front axles shafts, it's the joint that allows the shaft to turn and move while vehicle is turning

oh, and welcome to our forums, we're glad ta have ya.

Thank you for your response.

So I do need then CV Halfshafts as a replacement?

maxxman04

if that is the problem, then yes.

One last question: How can I see if it is the shaft? Is there a test technique?

maxxman04

jack up front end, climb under, grab shaft and see if there's alot of play. shouldn't be much if any.

MAD King

OK Thank you
