I don't have that much details, but I'm at least going to find out what's different to stock ;) and if I know more you'll be the first to hear ;D
-
Are we talking custom made for suzuki's, or trying to mix and match from other trucks?
-
custom made, in europe. costed me around 400 euro's. They aren't heavy so shipping wouldn't be killing you I think, but custom's I'm not sure about them...... ;D
-
We need pics showing them alongside the stock CVs
-
pics along side of eachother are coming up, maybe today if I have time other wise asap ;)

Hey people, I've installed the left one today, here's a little comparison side by side:

Installing was pretty straight forward, in short it was, take the CV out.
Pop the boot off the original CV.
Hammer gently to get the shaft out of the joint.
Gently (again) hammer the new joint onto the shaft, be careful to do it straigt. A better way would be to press them in and out.
Then a little problem arose, the FWH didn't fit over the shaft easy, it was a very tight fit have notified it to the producer and see what their answer is. Another difference was that the C-clip (the one discussed in the poll) couldn't be installed because there was no gap for it.
next: do the other side asap ;D
-
In the 2nd pic it shows the shaft with the groove for the C-clip????

Hmmm, I thought they had to go in before the hub, but this could be an option too, thanx Brlj. I'll try to get them on here ;)
-
The housing looks good. What about the actual CV joint itself is it much bigger than stock?
-
I could be wrong, but the last time I was looking for stronger CV's for my Esc I came across some Subaru CV's that looked very much like those :-\ - I must go and have another look ;)
What I found was that one type of Sub' CV had 22 splines and the other had 27 splines. The 22 spline ones are the type I will check out ;)

That's the pic I forgot to take, but I believe it was, will take a pic tonight when I get home from work ;)

Thats worth looking into. We all knoe who makes Subaru's 4wd system ;)

Explaine how you hammered to get the CV
apart, I know there is a snap clip in there, but
I can't get them apart, been trying to figure
how I could use a press, but a press pushes,
not pulls, which is what is needed here

No snap clip in mine, I looked at the Chilton's and it said a snap clip indeed but I just started tapping nicely on it and it came apart pretty easy ???. So there was none ;) Maybe the manual is wrong but I couldn't find it (no groove for it either).
Press should be used to insert the shaft into them, because it has more even pressure less chance of damaging it.
But I've poked around in it with a screwdriver after they came apart and there IS a groove in the CV itself, so there should be but it isn't ???
And now I'm looking closer to the drawing in Chilton's and the outer CV's (the ones at the wheel) don't have a C-clip on them. The other side however does have m in. But I think that would be able to come apart too. I'll try to get the pic on the comp big enoug to see...
Sorry for the long post but I was thinking and looking and typing at the same time ;)
-
I can't see that CV joint very clearly because of the gease. Is it bigger? if so roughly how much bigger?
-
Well you know the stub side of a front
diff, it has a little clip to keep the axle
stub shaft in the side gear, I was thinking
the outer CVs had the same sort of clip
to keep the axle shaft in the CV, that and
there has to be a way to assemble the thing

100% correct - move to the top of the class please ;D
I hold the shaft in the vise the hit the back of the cv with a soft face hammer, some times the clip is reusable afterward and others it not so be careful.
Occasionaly the clip pops into the cv and hids in the grease so make sure you check youv'e taken it out before reasembling it.
Of couse if youv'e blown the CV to bits it much easier to change :-[
-
Thanks Mud, I thought as much.
I've never blown an outer CV, just
the cage on 1 inner ;) so much for
blowing CVs with a 3" suspension lift
;D

-
I must be a whore then cause I've "blowen them All" ;D
-
I've broke a bucket full of inners when I had the standard tranny in there but never an outer. Now that I have the auto tranny I haven't broke one. Auto tranny=Poor mans gearing ;D
-
I think the auto trans applies smooth power,
not the snapping as with a clutch, I just shattered
the cage, I could of fixed that on the trail with a new
cage (I carry a spare now)
