How a Worn CV Axle Can Cause Vibration

This video is mainly an informational video. In this video I have a great example of a CV axle with a worn inner joint that caused a vibration upon acceleration. I take the inner joint apart and show what happened to the inner joint and explain how a worn inner CV axle joint can cause a vibration upon acceleration.

Note: While it is very common for a worn inner CV axle joint to cause a vibration upon acceleration you need to keep in mind that this is not the only thing that can cause this symptom. You will need to properly diagnose your vehicle before performing a repair. Below is a link to a video that will give you SOME information to help you in diagnosing a vibration upon acceleration. (while this video has great information, it may not have ALL the information you need to properly diagnose your vehicle.)

Here is the link to that video: https://youtu.be/OyXtBqExkec

Also, the explanation of how an electric motor can slow a vehicle down was just a superficial explanation. Of coarse it was not the purpose of the video to go into depth about that. Also at about the 1:00 mark I mention that the electric motor slows the vehicle but I did it in a way that may seem like I said the motor uses the brake rotors to slow the vehicle down. What I was trying to say is that the motor, not the brakes, slow the vehicle.
