Stronger CV's
unknownmanxman:
Yeah i heard that too... But i cant wait that long for them! Ive got a couple of events coming up soon!
Thanks tho! :D

I've been running 'cheap as chips' ones from Bearmach - and reckon they are pretty good. Not quite as strong as the GKN's - but there's very little in it.
The one big advantage they have is they always break at the spline end (on the inside of the wheel drive flange. This is preferable to the CV itself breaking and filling the swivel with seal-eating shards of metal. In turn this means you can replace them quickly in the field.
I'd like to try some of the new Ashcroft ones (but they are an unknown quantity as yet, and likely to be expensive (sorry Dave!)) or the KAM CV's with fusible shafts - which seem a pretty good idea. The KAM fusible shafts can be replaced in a few mins and are very low cost.

AEU 2522 are the stronger cv's as fitted to early 110's. Be carefull if buying reconditioned ones as they are not always as good, but brand new genuine ones are loads of cash so you may aswell get some GKN ones!.

I have the Ashcroft ones from the initial test batch.
they are made from far superior materials and wel worth the ££ IMHO
as I hate changing CV's in the field.
this was a Bearmach one
Ashcroft one
Ashcroft/bearmach side by side.
