Possible source of new CV shafts...

[Triathlete]

Another question!
If I were to use these Trooper shafts it has been said the balls are smaller. So does this mean I need to replace the entire long shaft, including the inner joint or will I be able to get buy with just the shorter shaft and using the old inner joint? I guess what I need to know is does that green cup need to be replaced?
If so, how much extra work is required to change that?

I checked and the EMPI shafts are available through BAP auto parts...1039 is $95 and the 3619 is $90.

Just if you want to save little bit, Billy: they both are currently listed at Amazon for $59.95

You would only need to replace the cup, which is not a whole lot more work, but I would definitely have a new axle shaft seal available, mine fell apart when I had mine out. The cup is just held onto the axles shaft by some clips and whatnot. No crazy stuff.

Thats what I needed to know and wanted to hear...thanks Marlin. Looks like I will be ordering these this weekend or early next week. I will give that Amazon link a shot. The seals should be available locally...I'll check Checkers down the road to make sure they have them. Someone suggested replacing them anyways since they are only like $12 or so.

Keep us posted on the fitment and ease of conversion/install. My pass front is starting to make noises so the time is nearing and it would be nice to know there's a reliable supplier out there with a quality product that fits.

Ordered the EMPI shafts today. $148 for both shipped through Amazon.com (thanks Alexander). Should be here end of next week and my Asin hubs are on the way as well!
Will snap some comparison pics when they get here and I rip the OEM ones out.

Thanks for being the guinea pig Billy, my cvs have been "clicky" since moab and need to be replaced

[RamAirZ]

awesome! Can't wait to see if these work out good!

[Triathlete]

Trust me, they will get tested!

Asin hubs came yesterday and the UPS man dropped this off at the door today...

[RamAirZ]

awesome! Did you get the full versions with the inner axle assembly with the cup or just up to the cage/ball

[Triathlete]

1each.

[RamAirZ]

Ah gotcha. Can't wait to see if these work out!

No doubt in my ex-military mind after watching you last year at Moab. Sure hope they work out for you and US!
