cv joints and drive shafts

[robwsurf]

got cv joints the other day put them on the turbo driveshafts ok then they dont fit into the hubs one too many splines

no i think i have the wrong ones should they fit straight in or use part of mk1 shafts too

[adamh]

you shouldnt have to use any part of the mk1 shafts. use all the turbo drive shafts.. and only the new CV joints. the correct part number is OJ0220/30

if you have OJ0220 or OJ0330 its wrong.. you want 'OJ0220/30'.. i had a problem with mine too when they arrived.. seems the people at parts in a box sometimes get them mixed up.

if you have the correct part number.. they might have packaged the wrong shafts up.. im begining to think parts in a box dont have a clue what they are boxing up.

[David Sleith]

part number you need is OJ-0220/30 from www.partsinabox.co.uk

[adamh]

damn my speedy replies :lol:

[robwsurf]

mine were from auto jap spares as parts in a box didnt have any, but thanks for the info thought i was going nuts for a while

[robwsurf]

Finally sorted oj 220/30 are gt4 st165 not 185 which i was sent, bloke i ordered them from checked

[Paul Woods]

strange....165's are supposed to be the same joint as a 185? was anyone else under the same impression?

[podge]

julian used 165`s im sure

[robwsurf]

well got the new cv s today and they fit hubs and the shafts ! so hopefully if i m not still ill engine in and on mounts tomorrow!

[Paul Woods]

good stuff rob....glad to see you leaning towards the dark side,sorry star wars is on tonight.

lets have a few piccies for us eyecandy hungry folk.

[Sooty]

Where did you get the cv joints from,please, as I've been waiting for 6 weeks for parts in a box and still no sign of them ?

Do you have a contact number and part number for the correct ones.

Edited to say: Spoken to Euro Jap Parts and they have them on the shelf, but 90 +VAT for the pair.

how much as im nr cov. partsinabox have let me down so may as well go and collect them

[robwsurf]

cant remember for sure but think it was about ?100ish for the pair just remember it was slightly more than partsinabox but had them within 2 days

[mart1975]

ok i know they are not the cheapest but at least i can get on with the car

[welly_59]

i found partsinabox really good when i ordered mine

[Paul Woods]

yep so have i,in fact the guy rang me yesterday out of the blue to apologise for the cv's not getting to me during the easter break! hes well aware who twobrutal are as we have ordered that many kits from him....maybe i should try to negotiate a little club discount?

I know partsinabox have let a few people down on the odd occassion but in general ive found them to be a very professional company.

[mart1975]

ordered them from cv-joint.com, ?83, very helpfull staff.. only thing is she said they are the abs ones but told me that it doesnt matter they will still fit.

[adamh]

abs rings just lye around diameter, no worries, although handy to have for future possibilities. paul, the guy you want to speak to is adrian, the lady is hostile for discount work and whinges about bieng only supplier. i did ask a while Back but gave up waiting... he said it was on his to do list.

[Paul Woods]

i'll have a word then adam and see if i can get us a few quid knocked off for club members....oh theres something round and heavy on its way to brighton as we speak :)

poor carrier pigeon!

[johnathan]

just wonderin but do the cv joints off of an automative supercharged mr2 work for the v6 swap or is it just the manual cv joints that work?

[Paul Woods]

no both auto and manual SC outer cv's will work...if you can find some! i paid ?150 for two back when i did my swap,that was until we knew about partsinabox.

[Sponge Bob]

Did we ever manage to get a club discount Paul? Just wondering before I order these today?

Also, the searchOJ-0220/30 brings up http://www.partsinabox.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SS=OJ-0220%2F30+&PR=-1&TB=A&SHOP=&ACTION.x=17&ACTION.y=10 which are only ?30 for "both sides"

Thats not right is it??

Methinks they mean suitable for both sides, NOT sold as a pair...

Sorry!

Owen.

[Paul Woods]

i never got a reply re club discount mate...still they arent too expensive anyway,works out at ?80 ish per pair with the vat.

[Sponge Bob]

Ok - I thought that it must have meant both sides after posting... cheers for the confirmation though...
