cv joint problems Options

[whitewzard1989]

i tend to drive on the wreckless side and my cv joints are starting to pop, does anyone have any idea if i should just get the whole half shaft or just the cv joint? oh and some instalation info would b awesome to!!!

If you have to replace the joint and not just the boot you're much better off getting the whole shaft.

Usually it's the outer joints that tend to fail, and they're a massive PITA to get off the shaft.

I have a thread w/ pics from when I did my RnR. I changed out my pass side. Remember to get some threadlock (blue) for the 6 8mm hexbolts that you will be taking out.
