Hi all :)
I'm just about to purchase our second GQ - a 1994/5 4.2 DX diesel with aftermarket turbo already fitted. It's in generally great nick for the asking price - except for one thing..... the CV's sound shot. I put the vehicle on a slippery
grass patch and engaged Low Range with the hubs locked and then did some left and right circle work. The front right hub made the familiar clicking sound on full right lock. At least the rear diff's limo works a treat - it tore up the grass big time.
My question is (not having to ever replace them on our other GQ) what are a set of CV's worth to buy and have installed? If these are the only real problem with the vehicle I'll be a good buy. I'll get all axle fluids replaced front and rear at the same time.
Cheers
Chris

Installing them is not a hard job. While at it, regrease everything in the front diff, new seals all round,
check brakes, its a 3/4 day job.
You can get upgraded ones from the boys at Haultech in Qld, they are the ones the comp blokes use. (speak to RUFF on outerlimits).... They arent cheap though, but you wont kill em.
