Ive had a couple of mates who have wrecked the diff on their cars. Its a couple of grand to fix via ford. Which model car and is it still under warranty? BTW gramma lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL jk, talk to Brad if you can he had to replace a CV once but like Benji said it might be the diff. Even when I blew the old gearbox up it still had drive in a number of gears so no drive at all seems a little more serious.Hope it isnt thoughGood luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 01/08/10 07:08 AM Share Posted 01/08/10 07:08 AM to replace CVs you have to drop the whole diff....its a day job. If you do one side you may as well do the other side. You pay mostley for labour. Ask SENNA for prices on CVs.Unless you want to pay out the ass for billet CVs which I doubt you will need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
