Outer Limits 4x4 Board

busted the drivers side cv yesterday, never fixed one before
whats it worth supply and fit? 2000 Gu
gonna do both sides.

expensive

i think GQ are around 400-450 a side, GU is bigger so i am guessing dearer. thats not including fitting. probably allow 2 hours labour for fitting both sides.

that sounds expensive.i brought new cvs i think for $70 each.
Ive never replaced a cv in my life but at the comps some people change them quick.
In short.find a friend to help you

yeah, I can get a cv in and out of a mk patrol in half an hour. Only had to replace em twice.

Cheers

How do you know it is the cv busted ?


Could it be the freewheeling hub or diff??

Not that many people break GU CV"s !

$70 is a bit cheap for a cv


I used to get a good deal for them 2nd hand for around $150. I think $200 is more realistic for 2nd hand ones.

and no need to change both unless both are broken.

just cv no axle and genuine.if they are dearer than this i guess
it may have fallen off the truck

Are you sure you busted the CVs?? They are pretty tough. More likely to have stripped the FW hub, are they the stupid auto locking hubs?? If they are it is quite possible.

spoke to on track today and was told that they may just need servicing, it could also be an axel seal needs replacing when i told him i was running 33 MT Claws he said yep, there probably rooted, any way the tell tail signs are there of a stuffed cv, clicking on hill climbs and cornering

i had a problem with clicking cv's and even unlocking on hill climbs etc turn out to be loose wheel bearings tighten up and all was good
