Owner reviews for CV joint

Well I installed the GSP NCV 23614 from rock auto They list for $50 More Information for GSP NCV23614 It fit with no issues. The outer CV joint was the smaller just like the 5 speed. The outer end also has the nut for the threaded end. The inner was the larger joint that fit the O2M. Both ends have rubber boots. For $50 ist a great piece. Time will tell

And the new CV joints I have bought are the \"GKN/OEM\" for the outers and \"Meyle\" for the inners, at a price for each joint almost the same as a whole new EMPI axle.

I bought these GXN Lobro's and I've been very happy with them. From what they guy told me where I bought them (local german car part place) he said they used OEM internals. Also they have solid shafts instead of the OEM hollow ones.

CV botls don't need to be repaced they are not torque to yeald.

As I told you the Ibiza/Polo9N/Fabia driveshafts are all the same in length. The Ibiza ones are the easiest to get hold off. The best inner CV's to use are the ones from GKN, they’re hardened and do not rust.

I'm not a big fan of Meyle anymore. I don't know what's going on but the Meyle parts I've bought recently seem suboptimal.

Turns out the issue was a outer CV joint failure without any warning clicking noises etc.

The pattern part replacements from the likes of Febest are even worse.

The EMPI CV joint is now popping after 5-6 years.

As far as Cardone... I had 2 rebuilts from them on my Chrysler that were crap on install, and finally went to a "NEW". As for my Cabbies... I had 1 rebuilt Cardone that crapped out on install, went with NEW there. Firmly believe that new is better, unless I rebuild the thing myself. Cardone also furnished 2 rebuilt Passenger side CV's. The First one crapped out 3 hours after install. The replacement lasted 5 days, and broke on the inside knuckle, and ruined the differential...... Cardone is CAR DONE in my book.... Easier to buy some things new. Don't get me started on Alternators.....
