Non OEM - CV Joints - opinions?

[Sean_GT]

They only sell the outer cv joints with the driveshaft, you can buy the inner cv joints on their own.

This is ridiculous!

I would have thought you must be able to get them on there own?

I have the 23/30's, did order a 23/23 by mistake tho, and the abs ring is smaller.

Surely they should mention this on their website??

 

[96v]

yeh they should mate, ur rite!!! or they should make sure they get made the same size in both joints!!! a stupid prob 2 have!! the 1 i ordered/need is 23/23 so fingers crossed it will be fine!!! u found any solution??

 

[SupaStu]

Spoke to camskill who said that some people have problems and some don't.

He thought you could change the abs ring over from the stock one. I'll check with my mechanic on friday.

Pretty much looks like im going to have to go to toyota at some stage.

Pm'd you for some info, hopefully we can get this sorted

 

[johnny_k]

i also had this problem, all i did was change the rings over. give the rings lots of heat and they will come off, then swap them. i never got the camskill ones though so i cant confirm if it will work on them.

 

[96v]

mine should be done by fri, so will post up if i have a prob or all is well

 

[H1R3N]

also have this problem, dont toyota sell the outer cv's without shafts??

anyone got a price from toyota before?

 

[Dave@TM-developments.com]

Right, hopefully we have this problem sorted. We have sourced some joints with the right ABS ring. Darren is fitting 2 to a customers car now so we should have a definitive answer soon

 

[SupaStu]

Hi Dave, any news on this? and would I be able to source the correct rings rather than a whole joint?

Cheers

 

[96v]

not that this will help the situation your in m8, but i had my 23/23 fitted the ova day, n fits fine, no probs with the abs ring!!! must only be the 23/30's

 

[Dave@TM-developments.com]

We can now supply the correct Cv's

Stu, unfortunately the rings won't fit the other joints mate

 

[SupaStu]

So much for trying to save money

I'll check the rings out and see if I can change them. Failing that then I'll need to buy two new cv joints (for the fourth and fifth time).

I nearly crashed into 20 sheep today, they just appeared and ran across the road in front of me, full lock on brakes at 70mph and more smoke that cheech and chong.

Have ordered new pants...

 

[SupaStu]

Finally, got my ABS sorted. My mechanic took the wrong ABS rings off and we fitted the old toyota ones, just filed the inner ring a bit, then smacked them on.

Hey presto, ABS light goes off, system primes, and ABS brakes are back online!

Yesssssssssss

camskill said the ABS 23/30 spline ring was made wrong size so I got mine from Import Car Parts all fittted working OK no ABS warning light. hope this is of use to others replacing 23/30 splines
