Cv Joint Replacement

[smudger]

Hi I was going to change my cv boot today but my dads electrics took longer than I thought, but I noticed a slight click on the passenger joint wenturning full lock so I think I will just change the cv joints on both sides.

 

My question is would these be good quality

Before condeming the cv joint itself you might want to check its actually tightened up properly on the hub nut as i've known that to be loose and cause enough noise on full lock to make me think that the joint was shot. Went to take it off and the centre nut had no resistance to it at all. So changed plan tightened it and noise disappeared after that!

thing is brian the cv joint has to come off regardless on drivers side to fit new boot car's done nearly 200k miles and if passengers has gone thinking of just changing them both be one less problem for many years.

I used the company in your ebay link when I replaced the offside driveshaft. It was quicker and easier than messing around trying to change both split boots. Driveshaft came ready to bolt on.

Same here, and same company (about £36 for the driveshaft).  I have another sat in the garage as I thought the drivers CV had split too but turned out to be shed loads of grease left from the previous split!!

ok brian i replaced the drivers cv boot, and noticed a damp stain on the passengr side on the gear box so when i took the protective under shield off seems the inner passenger cv joint (one going in gear box) the cv boot was off so i checked and its knackered thing one of the bearings has come out as the way it looks is the metal shield keeping bearings in has a lip kinda like bending it with a pair of pliars but the bb size so this is going to need replacing.
