Anyone know of a source for the inner bearing race of the CV Joint? I have three out of four that are pitted.

pmb sells the whole cv assy for $89

but maybe he has a source - maybe the internal part you need is the same as the internal part in his??

Why would you want to take a part out of a new CV joint to repair an old one? Eric has complete new joints, not parts, and it's not cost effective for the manufacturers to sell bits and pieces. For one thing, the assemblies are old and everything is out of tolerance, making the fit of the new parts problematic.

That said, I could probably come up with some used ones that could still be used if you were really a CSOB. I forgot, all of us here are CSOBs!

You don't repair something like that, you toss it. Either find a good used CV or get a new one.

Well, it appears type one CV joints will work. I just need to increase the size of two of the holes to accommodate the alignment roll pins. New CV joints are about $63.00 each from World Pac. Has anyone done this?
I agree it makes no sense to buy new CV kits and only use bits and pieces.

TIA

PMB performance sell 'em already drilled, nice and straight, and on center.

If you get them from WorldPac get GKN/Loebro. Meyle will extend too far and you could have problems.
