CV's

My CV boot has been torn since I bought the truck and I've decided just to rebuild it. Where can I get parts other than the stealership? Or do you recommend where I can get a whole new assembly? I will be doing the boot slide mod when I get either 1

 

I'd just go to our local Napa...$50ish for inner and outer boot

 

Would they sell the cv joint separate? I plan on rebuilding it and I don't want to do all the work with parts that will break easily. But if Napa has quality stuff it's even better since I can get it locally

 

Kind of a pain to change the boots only also

 

Well my boots already torn so it has to get done either way

 

Thanks but I have boots already. I'm looking for the cv joint itself (triangle piece)

 

You mean the "tulip". or spider assembly i believe its actually called. Not sure if you can buy them separate for these axles.

 

Yeah. Bummer I guess I'll try the ones on rock auto. $50 each for the complete cv shaft.

 

Has anyone ever had a bad experience with the Rock Auto ones? Or will I be the test dummy

 

Here's what I'm thinking now. 1 of the two from rock auto. Or get a set of Cardone brand from my local Napa dealer for around $85

 

Whatever route you take n need some help lmk

 

Thanks I'll let you know if anything

 

My local Napa dealer has the Cardone brand and from what I've read they seem to be alright for the price. I will most likely change the boot with some high angle boots I forgot I had lying around from my 4runner

 

Figured might as well use them since the 4Runner's cv's are still good. I'll get it a replacement set later. You ever hear of anyone doing the boot slide mod with high angle cv boots? Or will I be a test dummy
