[Mk2] [Turbo] inner CV joint

Post by luke2152 »

I investigated a bit of knocking coming from my cv joint. Turns out the cage was broken and one of the balls had popped out and was trapped in the boot. I caught it before it failed spectacularly. Because there was a cable tie on the boot and I couldn't find the broken bit of cage I suspect it was already broken and has been semi ok for all of my ownership.

The problem is I can't seem to find a replacement one anywhere in UK. There are some rather expensive uprated options from the states but a lot of those places don't want to ship here any more because of brexit. ATS says they will ship but UPS has been losing a lot of packages.

Even a replacement cage would be ok as my inner and outer race are good.

You can get uprated ones from someone in the USA. ATS Racing I've got in my head for some reason. I fitted some to mine years ago.
