Just noticed that the CV comes off of the equal length stuff as it is held on with a circlip. Still need a new one though as this one is a bit broke :( | |

I used to work in two Different Car Accesory Shops dealing with parts and the cheapest quote i ever gave a customer was £48 for an old Subaru Justy :| my Corsa was £58 a Joint and £40 a Shaft and that was with my staff discount :| Unless maccesss or somewhere Quoted you the Price as that would roughly be the Cost price of the CV Joints for my old Corsa :| | |

Although you may have to be patient when asking Anyone at maccess my dealings with the ones up here werent to pleasent they are thick bastards up here :mad: [Edited on 31-05-2005 by h18_oab] | |

There is no such thing as brand new CV's for a 15 year old car... They are all re-con, as are the alternators, gearboxes, diffs, everything really from what they told me. | |

quote: only problem is they give you the Same CV back :| so if you hand in the CV on the Shaft they'll give you a cv on a shaft back! then your back to square one better trying to get one brand new CV thats is seperate from the shaft for a Cav 2.0 16v mate, if the are charging you about £50 for a recon chances are you wont pay more than £75-£80 for a new one :thumbs: [Edited on 31-05-2005 by h18_oab] | |

They can, they do a replacement service so if I take in a knackered CV then they will give me a recon one for about £50 I think :| | |

IYea, so is mine, but I have Cossvaux driveshafts that aren't equal length, I have a long one and a short one. I guess the long one goes in where the equal length stuff does so I need a different CV... Totally confused :lol: | |
