CV's on Prado's should they wear out at 45,000Km ?

My V6 Prado has 194000 klm and I have never had any problems with the car at all.

Jeff dont think there is any maintanance on CV its sealed.

Cheers

Sounds unusual. Maybe the noise is something else. Tyres rubbing on the front at full lock??

Has the vehicle been lifted?

As you would be aware when the centre diff lock is engaged the turning circle is limited. There is a tendancy for some drivers to keep pushing the wheel around until the skidding starts. That is a usual cause of this type of damage to our work car CV joints and may also cause damage to the front diff. I would advise your drivers adjust their driving method in Hi 4.
