Hi all,
Where's the best place to buy the decent quality CV Joints at the best price? My pass. side started popping about a week ago and knew I probably needed replacements but on a short cruise this morning that all got reinforced as the pass side (tire side) broke. After jacking up the teener and starting to take out the half shaft the transmission side balls and cage just feel to the concrete. So it appears I need both ends and guess I just as well replace the drivers side while I'm going through the process. A VW friend told me he got an entire replacement 1/2 shaft for only about $30 more than him ordering just the CV's when his went out in his VW truck. I know mines type IV but there's not a whole lotta places locally that stock this stuff so any parts houses that you can recommend are appreciated and will any VW 1/2's work? |

QUOTE(jPs @ Oct 1 2004, 02:29 PM) Haven't hooked them up yet but sizing them up to the originals and they look like a match. Same size balls, cage, cups and shaft....the wife even concured (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) |
