CV's

Mine has been clicking for a while so time to get it sorted.

Not sure which side it is but gonna try to work that out today...

Not sure wether to buy pattern CV's or get some second hand shafts with CV's from CAM?

Any advice?

I just finished installing my new HD halfshafts and CV joints with an arb front locker.

The halfshafts i dont remember from what car they are , but the cv's are from subaru forester ,

are 22spline just like front jimny's . The only thing is that the cv cave needs a little job so you can feet the

cv's because they are a bit bigger than original ones.

This combination is beeing used for the past 3 years from 3 friends of mine with 33'' in 4x4 competitions

and they never had any breaking problems.

The cost of the halfshafts and cv joints , buing them from a scrup yard cost me 150e.

I will upload some pics later.

Clicking noise doesn't mean anything! I've seen a lot almost new silent cv's breaking very easily, and then there's also those very old and noisy ones that just last and last. Just buy a new pair for spares, and abuse the old one's as long as they break, and then switch in the fresh ones...

Yep, as above ignore the clicking. Mine click when on full lock on dry-ish surfaces when off road.
I get full drive still and until i lose drive i'm not worrying too much. I replaced one ages ago as it had never clicked before. I tried a heavy recovery and thought i'd blown it after, i suspect though after replacing it and how the other side behaves now it wasn't shot.

I've just got hold of a full set of shafts front and rear so i don't need to worry about them so much now.

90% i remember that the cv's are from 1999-2000 forester. They have 22spline end so it can also be used with jimny axle shafts as well.

The axle shafts i dont remember from what car they are. I will have to find the mechanic who gave them.

The cv's in order to be fitted in the axle end a little trimming at this spot is required.

Has anyone else tried this out ?

Thats a shame as i could do with something stronger now after going through a few.
