Title: CV joints
Post by: phreeky on Mar 13, 2006, 02:51PM

Anyone know if the AWD front outer CVs are the same as FWD ones? Who has replaced them?

If you can take the shaft out yourself and take it to a CV specialist, you will save yourself a bit of money, rather than paying someone to do the whole job.
I believe that the CV joints themselves are generally a universal item (same joint used for lots of different cars), but the shaft length and splines on either end of the shaft are what makes a CV shaft unique to a particular car.
When we replaced the clutch in my brothers AUS U13, we took one of the driveshafts to a CV specialisist to get rebuilt (new joints and boots). It took them an hour and cost about $140 or $150.
