axle cv joint

So im gonna change my 4 suspension and at the same time when i do a sharp right turn i hear a loud KLUNK! KLONK! probably the axle thats finished.

When pulling it out there is some transmission fluid coming out.

Lets say im gonna do both, since my mcphersons will be pulled out.

Is the loss of transmission fluid significant?

How much should i lose when pulling the axles out?

And should i look at my transmission fluid gauge after running the car a little bit or when its cold?

Anb i just add whats missing?


thx.

I'm not sure, but you might as well do a drain and fill afterward. It's hella easy.

Not sure, my 5 speed uses the Finger Gauge You usually drain and fill when it's at least warm, so probably that.
