    Is the LHS more prone, like the wheel bearings, from being on the inside track and suffering more vibrations?

    Hard luck. Let us know how you go.

    IIRC, all CVs are much more prone to fail while the wheel is turned rather than straight. Sometimes it is unavoidable, but if you are going to give it the boot, try to have the front wheels as straight as possible.

    Thanks.

    2nd hand genuine has been sourced in Melbourne cheap. Should get me out of trouble, just have to wait 'till I get back from work to pick it up/put it in the car.

    New genuine was $500ish, and I dont want a chinese ebay special

    Maybe as the left axle is shorter it shock loads the cv more.

    Considering how angry the p38s can be in lowrange, they put up with a lot.

    Yeah I'll attest to that benji! I thought I'd done a CV a few weeks ago but it was a uni joint instead!

    Drive hard knowing that it'll one day break, or drive easy and let the Rangie do the talking ;-)

    Do you have dimensions of where you cut the hole to get access to the fuel pump. It's been one of those "must get arount to one day" jobs that I think now is the time! A pic would be useful too .
