    CV joints and pricing

    I have a strange noise from the front left side, especially when placing a right hand down; turning left the noise goes away

    I have had the wheels aligned by a reputable mob in Sydney and had a secondary review by another reputable suspension company

    Neither have provided a definitive diagnosis and the car is deemed safe - all good

    I think the CV joint and/or the wheel bearing may need replacing???

    I know the wheel bearings are $$$$$, yet there seems to be a vast discrepancy on the cost of a CV joint from $80 to a $1000 and somewhere between

    any suggestions/comments

    thanks

    Have a look on Microcat for the part numbers and check the web (especially UK websites) for pricing.

    The website asks for a login and appears to e for dealers or am I looking in the wrong place?

    CVs usually make a clunk, clunk, clunk type noise when turning on hard lock to the side that has the faulty unit, especially when putting some power in.

    CV's

    If looking for non gen LR CV's
    Try looking for GKN stuff they make the originals.

    For a little extra coin you could go Ashcroft hd cv and halfshafts and for normal 4wd duties never worry again.

    Cheers
