Cv movement

Post by AaronT25 »

Hi guys

Has anyone else slight movement in both cv axels ? I’ve been told by my mechanic that it’s normal ?

Van has just been lowered on mts coilovers & I can’t remember if the movement was there before lowering .

Thanks

Aaron

Welcome to the forum.
Movement along the axis of the driveshaft is normal, there should be quite a bit.
Movement perpendicular to the driveshaft should be very very minimal, I'd say no more than a couple of millimetres.

Yep, that's needed or you would have no suspension travel.
