Ok, need some answers here. Of all the genuine Toyota cv's you have broken, what has been the component that failed most of the time, just to generate some tech discussion.

My 80 series CV's always go on the star. A Mate just did one in the outer axle. Just sheered straight across at the base of the bell.

I have broken more bells than i have stars. Usually the bell cracks first and a ball or 2 get out then the star is destroyed because of this.

Yes i agree, the bell usually pops first.

I have 2 sitting in the shed that when looking at them from a metre away they look fine and then up close there is two cracks running down both sides!!!

Also i believe that whenever the bell goes the Star is screwed as everything just twist around inside!!

So in otherwords, if you can hold the bell together then everything else should last.

Hey maybe we could weld a ring in the bell to make it stronger!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Man i am so clever! :D
