i have a 94 vitara independent front, snapped a cv last night.

have spare cv off a 96 model, the shaft is about 4-5mm shorter and i cant put the washer and circlip on it.

should i just leave the washer out and just put the circlip on? or will the circlip just break?

or just leave it off completely??

cheers john

never tried it but im sure you will need both and if you put it toegther and dont get away with it, the result wont be good.

cheers mate got mine reco today...

i know some ppl with sierra's dont use circlips but their axels are fully enclosed so they cant just fall out...

running with out the circlip allows the axle to move in the spindle & allows crap/dirt into the seal/bearings = bad sh!t happens.

cheers mate might justr keep my spares as SPARES and use them only in an emergency if i get stuck in the bush-better than nothing i suppose,... right?
