Only drives in 4wd

Post by PNWtercel »

My Tercel will only move when in 4wd

Any suggestions on where to start looking?

Front cv axles?

Car drives fine in every gear when in 4wd

Thanks looked into it and the driver side cv was out got it back in drove it for most of the day and it came out again

Both cv axles are ready to be replaced anyway so I think I am going to start fresh and order new axles and install them and see how it goes from there
