Stuck for 24 hours now no steering was created by ne-crock
So i managed to beach myself and proceded to remain stuck for 24 hours, finally got a tow out,

But i was trying to get out on full lock and pull myself out the rutt, i heard a crunch and now i have virutally no steering and it seemed like no drive to my front wheels?

Any ideas?

I think its my cv joint but before i spend the cash i'd like a second opinion,

Ps the jimny was not to uncomfotable to sleep in,

Cheers crock

CAMSUZUKI on eBay will sell you a cv on a shaft which saves messing about as I understand CV's are a pain to get on and off shafts.

I'm on my phone so can't copy and paste a link but Damohick is selling some on page 2 of the For Sale and Wanted section on here if they've not gone on eBay yet. I would buy both as you know you'll blow the other side if you don't! It'll be ok if you do owing to the law of the sod!
