Toyota
Corolla Transaxle- leaks at differential output flange. Bad CV axles can lead to
transmission problems.
Driver’s
will notice a bad or worn out CV (constant velocity) axle by the clicking noise
it makes when turning. Driving for an extended period of time with a worn out
axle on the long axle side (the passenger or right side) will damage the
transaxle (transmission and differential assembly). Vibration wears out the
differential carrier and spider gears inside the transaxle. The shaft for the
output flange, which the axle bolts to, is not supported by a bushing or any
other reinforcement but, goes directly into and is supported by the differential
carrier assembly.
Installing
a new output flange seal to repair a leak caused by this problem not work due to
the excess play in the shaft. Lateral movement in the output shaft will distort
the new seal causing it to leak.
