I think the CV has run its course
Having to do three point turns to get round 90 degree bends just to stop the loud clicking/clunking and got a trip up the west coast planned.. hate it to give out up there!!
Does anyone know the best place to get CV's from? It got to be worth doing inner and outer at time time plus both boots?
I'm pretty sure its coming from the drivers side.. Only really does it when turning left!

With second hand you always get inner and outer as a set. Dont mess round with after market None are any good. A clicking cv isnt the end of the world. Others here that know my truck will tell you what mine sounded like for 5 years and for the last 2 years one of them was catching on the rough spot causing the truck to jump in the air while climbing hills. Its a bit rough when your leading a trip of 10 trucks and tail end Charley complains about the cv clicks. Take a spare and change if it breaks. Ive seen one changed in 15 minutes but it takes me a bit over an hour

Yeah its getting pretty noisy!
Do you buy the axle with the cv's attached? Just gotta find one in good condition!. bit of a gamble I suppose.
I'll see if I can find one.
So if I get second hand CV's plus fit a new set of boots, is there anything else you recommend replacing/servicing at the same time to save having to take all the gear back off again? (I've just recently fitted a wheel bearing kit)

The seal on the back of the stub axle and check the needle roller inside the stub axle. The seal is Holden only and quite unlike the original. It actually works now but its a pig to fit. I had to warm the stainless ring before it would go over the mount. Bearing can be got from bearing shop but only 5 bucks more from holden and you can get both bits at same time. Would I be correct in thinking closest holden dealer is Alexandra?

Hmmn I'm not sure it used to be but I'd have to check the new Toyota garage they may be Holden aswell
Will they know what I'm talking about if I say its for bighorn or should I be asking for rodeo?
