CV Joint needs replacing

sentrasersr20de · Oct 18th, 2003, 09:50 PM

I have a 1991 Sentra SER and the right front cv joint is worn out. Where can I get the best price on a new cv joint? The driver side was replaced not too long ago so I just need the passenger side.

I seen this ad on a web page after some searching so i'm wondering if this is a good source and price. Any help would be apreciated.

Hmmm, my local parts place had them for 60 bucks a side. I was just gonna replace the boots, because mine were torn, but for the price I'm replacing the whole thing. I think my store is part of the Auto Value network. Check around, you can probably get them cheaper.

Based on where you are, my store is like an hour from you in anaheim, Tops Auto Supply. They usually have good deals on what I need and their stuff works. Check em out!

thanks for the tip. I just want to make sure I'm buying quality. In the future I want to upgrade to GTIR motor so I dont want cheap parts going on my sentra. I remember installing a rack and pinion in my friends SER and there was a fused weld that wasn't completed around one of the lines so it leaked so he returned the rack and pinion and bought another one from the same aftermarket shop and that one leaked too. It just so happens to be the car I bought so i'm filling the power steering fluid every couple of weeks so I dont want cheap aftermarket. I'm willing to pay more for a sturdy axle.

If you do a GTiR swap later, you'll want to have the tranny case welded around the shaft input, and maybe spend money on stronger axles, like Raxles.

I can do the welding myself so that should save some money. I'll check into Raxles. Never heard of them. Thanks!
