Default Right front cv axle binds up

I put a 2” lift kit on a 2002 Chevy tracker ZR-2 4x4, 2 door, with 2.0 engine, auto transmission. The right front cv axle binds up in hard turns and this is a brand new axle. Has anyone else had binding problems with a two inch lit kit??

Make sure that you have the correct CV axle. They may look the same but a slight difference could cause problems.

Default cv axle binding

Mechanic got two more new ones and compared the "flex" with the new one he had put in and the original factory one he had taken out. The new one he put in had less "flex" then any of them. He installed a new one that had the most "flex", even more then the original factory one, and no more binding.
