I've searched the forums but can't see anything specific on this topic.

Recently my mechanic replaced the front CVs on my TJ Sports AWD as they were buggered.

The left one was replaced easily enough.

But he had a terrible time locating the right hand CV. His parts supplier kept sending him the wrong one, it just wouldn't fit - the splines, outer diameter and over all length were all wrong. I think he was trying to go through Repco.

After a few days he managed to find a second hand one that was in good nick.

I tried to search for the part myself but didn't get very far. None of the ones on eBay had the right dimensions.

Do people know a place, anywhere in Aus, that supplies either reco'ed, aftermarket or OEM CVs specifically for the AWD?

For that matter, how do people go with sourcing the rear CVs?

Given that the drivetrain was taken from the JDM, are there parts available JDM?

It looks like it's the inner shaft that's the problem (RHS). The outer was easy enough to find.

Anyone know where I can get an inner RHS shaft for TJ AWD...?

Bump for interest.
