So here's the deal. I keep blowing out my front drivers side CV axle. I get about 300 miles out of each one and then, BAM! Gone.

I'm on my 4th or 5th one in the past 8 months. No joke.

Tired of replacing them.

Here's what happens. Right before they go, I get a HARD pulling to left for about 15 seconds then they blow. They always destroy themselves at the joint closest to the hub.

As of recent, I've replaced all 4 lower control arms, because of bad ball joints, and had the alignment done.

Why the hell is this happening??? :confused:
 
Maybe it's a silly thought but do you have the carrier bearing bracket bolted to the block properly?
 
Yeah. Those are just fine.

Have you ever heard of this kind of symptom from a bad motor mount? All I see from others on mounts is bad vibrations. But never any CV joint separations.
 
Did you lower your car retardedly?
^^^
If that aint the answer you could possibly have a bad motor mount but I have never heard of a motor mount ruining cv's so fast. Is it just ripping the rubber boot on the axel causing it to spill out the grease??
