I know you can get extra HD CV joints & axles for $600 But I like U joints & axles conversion for about a $1000. To me it seems almost worth extra money because, 1 there much easier to take off & on, 2 no gaskets or boots needed, 3 you don't have to take apart a U joint to grease it.
I'm just thinking ahead when I do a 6cyl (3.6) much latter down the road and would like to hear other thoughts on subject. Ralph 74 2.0 |

Brad, I think your missing my point. I'm just saying the U joints are easier to use & less parts to worry about (did I buy enough gaskets, one boot has a cut the others look ok should I buy 1 or all 4 & replace all of them, where did I put that banding tool, screw it I'll just put these hose clamps on it). When you go to repack your CV's it's always that one or two bolts the allen socket won't fit right till you rotate the wheel. With U joints you just grab the grease gun & give it a squirt or two. Guess I'm just a lazy backyard mechanic looking for easier ways to work(but more expensive most the time).
