CV Joint

[Phone Man]

I had some front end work done and now the cv is spitting out grease so I'm going to replace the whole thing. Anyone recommend one brand of replacement over another? I found these from 1A Auto.

I also saw a youtube video on how to replace them... looks easy, but anyone feel otherwise? My suspension is stock.

you can get remaned ones units for about $60 each at you local parts store. just as good but if it is just one boot just get a boot kit with grease and repack it.

I think its a seal cause i cant tell where it's coming from. The boot looks intact.

Yo Carlo!

1A has great parts! I have used a few of their parts with success!

I have not used one of their axels but I have used their hub bearing assembly. I do have a Axel on my truck from Napa. I have used Advanced Auto's axels on hundreds of cars with success. Under the business they set me back $50. You can also barrow tool kit from them!

you got my number lmk, what you want to do!

You are doing the same amount of work, weather you replace the whole CV shaft or the boot. I personally would just put a cv shaft on. It's pretty easy. Unbolt your axle nut, remove the 6 15mm flange bolts. Axle nut is a 36mm.

x2 . you could replace the boot and a month later your replacing the shaft

Warning if you replace the entire assy get that wheel off the ground. Lift it by frame or control arm. Do not put vehicle weight on a wheel with out the shaft installed on the knuckle and torqued.
