84gl4x483201 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 So I bought an 84 gl 4x4 and a front outer CV joint blew. On rock auto I found replacement out joints, but they only have 1 for 4x4. This car still has factory CV shafts as it sat for a long time. I saw I can use FWD CH shaft assemblies, but in a post I cannot find now, I remember something was different. Is it the shaft diameter? Cause I'm hoping it's the same cause I can only get 1 for 4wd but I can get 2 or more for FWD.... Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machineit Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I've found them at O'Rylies for around $64 Rock Auto wouldn't be my first choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84gl4x483201 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 That's the hole assembly though. I just want to replace the joint. And I have never had an issue with rockautos parts, my buddy still has mybold Saturn with the front suspension and cv's from them and its still running and driving strong.

rdweninger Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have never seen just the joint for sale. Just the entire axle, which includes the CV joint and the DOJ. A lot of discussion on this site about repairing, replacing and rebooting the axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84gl4x483201 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well they do have one, joint only at Rock auto. And I sat for 4 hours digging around about CV shafts and hadn't found what I need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
