[johnny_adidas]

autovaux or ebay. duno bout the abs rings

[j4mes]

i heard you could get them for 20 quid, but cant remember where

[IRISHD]

Got a quote off autovaux for £45 a few weeks ago. Thought it was abit steep so I'm still looking around aswell

[j4mes]

if i replace one side is it good to do the other??

[Cozy]

think you should do both, i was looking at them the other day on autovaux and i think they are £39.95 each

I bought mine from Vaux direct, was cheapest, and they also come with abs rings as you have to specify what type you need.

[j4mes]

glad bout the rings, how much did they set you back??

I've replaced a number of cv joints in the past and I've never had one that didn't come with an abs ring (unless it was an inner one obvioulsy but you know what I mean).

Never pay more than £30 for a cv joint. As said in the other post, I normally pay £25-£30 for one joint but just £50 for a complete assembled shaft including both joints and pre-machine sealed cv boots. Just check with a few local motor factors.

Here have a look here.

I think they re the cheapest:

thanks naz, next thing how do i find out how many teeth i have??? lol

[Phil69]

Err......count them!

It'll be quite obvious. From what I can remember there is either gonna be 29 or 43 teeth so even if you miss count, the difference is big enough for you to know which one it should be.

[Naz]

yep as suggested above, you just have to count them. Start from one side and then start counting. If you go past the lower number then you know you have the bigger one. So u won't need to count to the end [img]/wink.gif[/img]
