Went away few weeks ago and had a trailer with 2 ton of rock on it.
Apone the 1km hill climb in low range with alot of slip finaly got out from where we got the rock. Only damage was left outer cv's become extremly noisy, not bad for an original cv.
I dont want to put a cheep cv that wont last and at 320ks ill do the inner aswell.
Whats a good brand joint to get for th paj?

Only the geniune one are good. I tried an after market one with a two year warranty, it broke the first time I put it in 4wd and ended up going through my brake line (was not a good experience). So I will never use anything but geniune. I buy mine from the wreckers and if you can feel any play in the joint they are worn so look for another one usally $110 for one side for the wreckers.

put new(second hand) shafts in the shorty for the guy who bought it cos the old ones were a bit dry/clicky, cost $120 for both sides, full shafts. i shouldve done it a long time before that... :oops:
