Hi folks: CV's are really starting to make some noise, and for the price of the whole drive axle, I thought it would be easier just replace the whole works. Volks Cafe has the drive axle and CV for about $90 per side + another $20 for hardware. They state that these are made in China, so that certainly doesn't sound too good. Not sure of the brand that Go Westy sells ($150 per side) and I don't even see them on The Bus Depot site for autos--Ron? This is something I've never done before, so is there a how-to article out there I can refer to? It appears they just Bolt on, ha!, where have I heard that before? My transmission was replaced not too long ago so I don't expect I will run into stubborn bolts. If this literally a bolt on proposition + adding some additional grease or is this a job best left to a professional? Recommendations on where to buy would be helpful as well. Are the drive axles from Volks Cafe decent or where is the best place to buy? I need these a.s.a.p. Troy |
