I remember i paid close to 400 for a major service, gearbox service and left CV joint replacement so it shouldn't cost you tooo much. Shop around on this one.

my right cv joint is fucing up cos my cv boot is split and its pissing grease all over my rims and eventually the cv will run out of grease and start grinding probably...

fooya i think that is what happened to me, apon inspection, there is a big tear in the boot, i thought that it was powersteering on my rim, but it was the grese, required lots of cleaning to make the rim look good again!,

i'll have to lookin this! as i need stop that damn clanking and grinding!

thanks guys,

what do you think mitus genuine parts will cost!

I had this problem just lately. I took it to my mechanic and it cost $100 to have a new boot put on and that stopped all the clunking and clicking. Don't leave it too long as your will blow your CV joint and will only cost you more money.

may just do that! i haven't driven it in 3 months! lol! ohh well! soon! the return of 2much' magna

its clunking and grinding because it needs to be repacked with grease again as all of it has splattered everywhere! so if the cv does not have grease there is no lubrication whichwill make a shudder sound and grinding feeling....scarey stuff!

ive just had my right hand side boot replaced and repacked with grease, cost me 90 bucks, but im still getting the grinding noises! bugga! should hav jst got new cv's from the start :( will cost me 170 supplied and fitted so if u def think yr cvs r gone then dont bother repackin them its a waste of time and money!
