Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 06/03/14 08:13 AM Share Posted 06/03/14 08:13 AM Going to revive an old thread. So turns out I need a new cv so going to be replacing my driveshaft. Looking at the options and well genuine isn't one, got a price from repco and they're $260 but I can get it under $200 for trade price. Are the repco ones any good? I have different part numbers for repco parts compared to the convertedOn a side note anyone know how this happened, been told most likely too low is the cause, only running 300rwkw and no track use for the car.Pics because everyone wants pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty let go at the drags, and that's understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 06/03/14 08:34 AM Share Posted 06/03/14 08:34 AM (edited) Yea engineer said the same thing, thought it was unusual. I reckon my car was built on a friday afternoon unfortunately. Apparently that silver ring thing is pressed into that bronze coloured housing but its twisting around so not sure if it was just done sh*t to begin with and the lowering and power killed it.I'll be racing for the first time at WSID in a month so hoping just replacing one side will be right..Also do BF shafts fit FG?

I wish I seen this thread 3 months ago when I fitted repco cv's. Split both boots already and there such a sh*t job to replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 06/03/14 09:21 AM Share Posted 06/03/14 09:21 AM So you don't rate the repco shafts? Boots shouldn't split in just a few months surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 6m 8d Posted 06/03/14 09:46 AM Share Posted 06/03/14 09:46 AM No as per the thread they rub on the shock cause there a bigger diameter. If u slid the boot down the shaft further it may of been okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
