Opinions on CV joints

[joehirth]

I've found these CV joints on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140325341734&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Now dealers (at discounted rates) want £100 per CV inner or outer on exchange basis, these eBay ones come with a 2 year warranty and "OE Spec" for £22 delivered. Worth a shot? As I guess I'll be eating them with a big turbo set up.

Anyone had any experience with them?

i bought cheap ones form ebay but they were for my audi a4,

the cv's looked like they were ok quality but the rubber boot itself felt cheap and nasty.
ive given then 2 years of abuse and still perfect.

Think I will give them a go - it's got to be worth a shot at 1/4 of the price.

Yes mate they are spot on, i used them many of times, be aware on the ibiza, i was succesful on the third delivery due to the splines on the cv joint were different, not enough/too many, i had to count the number of splines on my hub and tell them before i got the right one,, i cannot remember how many now, something i recommend you do, just saves messing around.

Cheers for that I'll let them know.

Was the spline problem just with the outer CV's?
