CV joints

[lone_night_fox]

my CV joints are starting the 'oh i'm 12 years old and my joints are starting to pop' thing... which means my CV joints are going bad... therefore I'm going to need new ones eventually... but I was wonderin if there were any AM ones available

[firefly948]

just find some that are about the measurements as the original ones and see if they fit...I looked cause I needed to replace them about a year ago. All I could find was the originals, and I didn't even find them...I gave up looking and took it to a mechanic and handed him the keys and told him to fix it.

If you plan on going with an engine swap, you may as well get 300hp axels before you start snapping the old ones like twigs... Im gonna use my stock ones on my ZE until they snap and then Im going with 300hp axels.

[lone_night_fox]

ok but where to get them? also do the 300hp axels come with CVs? or what?

I got mine from a local axle shop..it's the full axle..from the tranny to the rotor...it cost me 400$ for 350whp axles (life warranty)..I don't think they have a website or anything...There is a company on the net that sells aftermaket ones but I think they go for around 700$
anyways good luck finding some

[lone_night_fox]

so CVs are included? I'm sorry but I don't know that much about the car after the trans

[mx3man]

a CV axel is a one-piece object. Do you mean the driveshaft for the passengerside CV axel? Im not sure if that requires changing. I doubt it.

[lone_night_fox]

well I thought CV's were on the sides of the axle... like you had the axle connected to the CV's then those connected to the rotors... or something along those lines... I may be wrong

is that $400 a side or both? $400 for both seems like it's too good to be true

[babybluemx3]

400 for both..and you what the best part his ...it's cad $
cash no taxes or any bs like that

[lone_night_fox]

you must know someone... cauz wow... getting a deal like that is unheardof here in the states

[firefly948]

so do you need to swap the cvs with the KLZE swap? I'm a little confused on what you guys are talking about...I thought the cv boot was just covering a universal joint on the axel...or on our cars, the half shaft. You guys are talking about having a halfshaft and an axel...you lost me.

[mx3man]

no, you dont need to swap the CVs for the ZE swap.

Yea man we got the mad hookups cuz theres a place that manufactures its own CVs right in town.
