Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi All ,This may be a stupid question but here goes anyway,On these new CVs there is no inner cir clip groove only the outer one,,so as i run the auto manual hubs i either have to get a groove machined into the CV or run them without cir clips, just wondered how anyone else got over this ,I could run Superwnch or Avm hubs as then i could use the outer groove but quite frankly i have found these to be crap..Any help would be great..

cals offroad have the worlds strongest gq cv and the breaking strain is over 9000 lb opposed to 3000 lb for gq and 4000 lb for gu.
They will be releasing gu cv's with a breaking strain well over 13,000 lb.

I know ,I have just bought a set over here in NZ ,Just trying to fit them but as its the weekend have tried calling Cal but cant get any answer so have sent him an Email with the same question,I asked on here as somebody else must of run into the same problem..Cheers

you best bet would be to run genuine nissan freewheeling hubs,

the auto hubs tend to have problems with unlocking and locking at random times, ive had a pair fail, and so have many others,

Makes you wonder what will break upstream of the CV with a 13,000 lg breaking force.
CV's are a designed in weak point as they are relatively cheap and easy to access as opposed to diff centres and gearboxes etc.
It seem you CAN have too much of a good thing.

Yep i Know what your saying ,I have not had a problem before with the auto/manual hubs as long as i manual lock them ,I would like to continue to use them as i find they are stronger than superwinch and avm but still act as a fuse and only take a couple of minutes to change..Cheers

I also reccommend Cal Offroad CV's.. top qaulity product !!

Apparantly the freewheeling manual hubs, are still the 'fuseable link' with cal CV's so just use them.. if you braught the cla CV's your obviously looking for strength, so no use using auto hubs which are crap....

the auto hubs with the auto bit removed are stronger than the genuine manual hubs

So the auto hubs need the second circlip further down the spline to hold them together? Is this correct?

Always wondered what that groove was for.
