How to replace the wheel axle shaft on Chevrolet Malibu?

Start your wheel drive shaft replacement by first raising and safely supporting the vehicle before taking off the wheel and tire. After you remove the front wheel drive shaft nut use tools to disconnect the outer tie rod assembly from the Steering Knuckle followed by separation of the Ball Joint from the Steering Knuckle. The hub spindle remover (J 42129) allows users to disconnect the front wheel drive axle from the bearing while protecting thread integrity by installing the nut partially. Insert the wheel drive shaft into the transaxle after removing it with Axle Shaft remover (J 33008-A) combined with Axle Shaft remover extension (J 29794) and slide hammer (J 2619-01). Installation begins with driving the wheel drive shaft inside the transaxle but requires checking the front wheel drive shaft retaining ring installation by pulling on the inner housing while avoiding the front wheel drive Axle Shaft. Satisfactory installation requires insertion of the front wheel drive shaft into the front Wheel Bearing while the Ball Joint returns to the Steering Knuckle and the outer tie rod assembly connects to the Steering Knuckle. Secure a new wheel drive shaft nut then prevent rotor movement through the use of a drift or flat-bladed tool before tightening it to 215 nm (159 ft. Lbs.). Install the wheel and tire after lowering the vehicle and check transaxle fluid level together with wheel alignment.

How to service and repair the axle shaft on Chevrolet Malibu?

Service and repair of the Axle Shaft starts with vehicle elevation and support equipment. Disassemble the drive axle before extracting the snap ring from the stub Axle Shaft since this item must be thrown away because it cannot be used again. Use j6125-1b slide hammer together with j38868 shaft removal tool to take out the transmission stub shaft. Move the shaft during rotation until the differential seat engages with the output shaft snap ring at the differential side gear. Afterward remove the inner snap ring. You need the combined tools of j23129 seal removal tool and j6125-1b to extract the right-hand axle seal from the transmission. The j41102 axle seal installation tool should be used for new seal installation while applying transmission oil to the lip of the seal before gently moving the Axle Shaft past the lip to safeguard against any damage. Place the two new snap rings onto the stub shaft followed by inserting the shaft into the transmission with the help of a mallet. After reinstalling the drive axle assembly lower the vehicle to start your inspection of oil levels as well as checking for seal and shaft leaks.

The Axle Shaft in Chevrolet Malibu cars is very important since it connects the differential to the drive wheels that enable the vehicle to move as well as turn. Usually made of steel materials, these axle shafts are ductile and can rotate independently in order to provide enhanced grip at the time of cornering. Chevrolet Malibu models employ halfshafts which interconnect the transaxle with wheels, and engineered with Splined end that fits into the differential and the wheel hub. This design is critical particularly in vehicles that have independent suspension system. Over the years, variations in axle shaft configurations may have occurred, but the primary function remains consistent: To bear the weight of vehicles, to transfer the driving torque and to keep the wheels on the right position. Maintenance is required now and then, because when the parts become worn out, the axle shaft system in Chevrolet Malibu will produce noise, vibration and in severe cases, fail.
