CVs from Autopartswarehouse

[CrnCnn]

So I found these on line and wondered if anyone has had any experience with trying to purchase these.

I would like to try as soon as I get that kind of money.

I tried to order from them. They told me that they are backordered & had no idea when they would be available (if ever). I cancelled the order & tried to place it at a very similar site & got the same response. I gave up & tried AutoZone with the same results.

Hope you have better luck than I did.

Well I have not ordered yet. I wanted to put it out there and see if anyone had experience with them. I though I had read something before, just couldn’t remember and my search didn’t come up with anything.

That was prolly the 'CV for dummies' thread or at least around the same timeframe - I was doing a lot of whining about it then.

I think JHarris will be in the same boat as you so good luck to you both. Keep us posted of any success since there are others who'll be wanting/needing the info eventually.

Is that price way better than what Merlin has to offer? What about searching junk yards for a CV assembly from a wrecked VX?

EDIT: Just searching car-part and there is no listing for CV or Constant Velocity joint. What would this part be a member of? Front Drive Shaft? Front Axle Assembly? Front Axle Shaft?

I know this has been asked before, but what kind of part interchange with other trucks do our CVs have?

"Just searching car-part and there is no listing for CV or Constant Velocity joint. What would this part be a member of? Front Drive Shaft? Front Axle Assembly? Front Axle Shaft?"

I can't remember what I searched on when I found it. I think the best vernicular would be 'half shaft' or 'front axle'.

"part interchange with other trucks do our CVs have?"

Rumor has it that 97 Trooper might work but I would think that the Amigo would be the better bet. No one has taken the plunge to find out for sure (i.e., actually bought one to compare).

"Merlin has to offer"

I didn't check - let us know. I paid $300 for the set I got from the bone yard (& felt lucky to find them at all).
