CV joints
H:
well got the rangie into work havign gotten another CV joint, went to take the side off that had the old cv joint expecting it to be that side that had gone, due to a few complications last time namely replacing the wrong side with the new CV joint before taking off the other side and finding the truely blown CV the old working CV is in the side that had gone originally, so when another went I naturally went to that side nope was fine. opened up the other side to find the new one had destroyed itself.
Question is...... what would make a brand new CV joint destroy itself within 4 days (less than 200 miles)? (road use only)

Don't suppose it was one of these CV's that have cropped up in the Landy mags lately for about £30 ?
H:
nope paid £45+ vat from a local recomended parts dealer seem to remember it being a brit parts one but could be confused with the one I fitted today which was from another local parts dealer.

ps both dealers seemed shocked at my K reg RRC having a HA chassis number, anyone explain why and is there likely to be some sort of shinangians in my trucks history :?
v8kenny:
GA is 1990 so maybe it just hung around for a wee while before first registration
I would be hopping up and down at wherever I got CV joint from if I was you - I always stick to GKN brand - dearer but worth it in the long run
Poor old CV's do a lot of work in a V8
H:
want to establish it wasnt something I did wrong in the installation there off 1st before I got down the hopping up and down route...... the outer spacer ring on the inner shaft was split and bent open, fortunatly I work in a metal fabrication engineers and we happened to have some tube with the right OD and ID so manged to fabricate a time being replacement for that to get me home until I can get one.
