Is a CV joint the thing that bolts to the track rod end/arm?

try that alone for a 2nd hand one without fittin or CV boot

looking more to the thick end of £100 as they will prolly have to replace the boot as well. I paid £50 for a pair of 2nd hand inner and outter CV's to find my driver side needs doing now

Reconned CV's are about £25, only took me about half an hour to swap mine so as long as its not in a main dealers you should see change from £100.
