Thumbs down .........CV Joint cups again

For the second time I am going to have to swap out my CV joint cup things. I guess being lowered and the added power made a new indention so anytime the car is under load, it vibrates violently, like the car is going to come apart. I already swapped the cups so what are my options? Can I get like spacers for the cups or just by the cups themselves?

thanks

Actually I think mine are done too I noticed it just prior to blowing the head gasket and since you posted I just remembered another thing added to the list.

Yeah its starts off not to bad but doesn't take long to get REAL bad. I haven't done it yet but I assume its not that hard and doesn't take too long.

^ Yea I swapped the right to left about 2 years ago, I did it with the axle still on, I had bloddy knuckles for weeks. Hoping Jeff can do it this time, I just need to know where to get the parts. Hopefully I can just get the cup

Ok, I heard the Spacers have a habit of failing and causing catastrophic crashes blah blah. Am I mistaken?

Ok, I found E-Bay Drive Shaft One peice spacers for 100.00 I think I am going with these. I can probably re-use the OEM bolts right? I figure the spacers dont really take much abuse, they are aluminum so I should be ok? I dont want top spend the money on new CV cups, they are very expensive

I don't know if I understand why the spacer would prevent the CV cups from wearing ? I feel like it has more to do with having the power we have and then doing 4th gear pulls every time I drive
