Can rear outer CV be replaced as a subassemly? Majestic lists "CV joint set, outboard" as separate part.....looks like it includes the boot, which is torn and needs replacing. I have already replaced inner CV same side(driver), so i figured i don't need whole axle assembly, but i will replace whole left driveshaft if thats better or needed.

 

They are separate parts or it can come as a whole assembly from Honda. I had my Innter CV joint go bad 2x in the time I had the car. Once was when the diff blew itself appart!!!

The whole assembly...........inner/outer/half shaft is like 550 fully assembled. The inner CV joints are like ~200 each.

If its under warrantee try to get the whole setup replaced! If not...............if they are a good shop just doing the joint should be good enough.

 

I'LL JUST GET OUTER....still doing launches?

 

Launches? Diff went at 60K. First CV joint went at like 30K.

 

get an ATS carbon Fiber differential.......

 

i hear the titanium chro-moly diamond plated diffs are good.

 

ATS carbon fiber diff is for real(i hope). its a disk type racing diff....supposed benefits is it lasts forever and no mechanical noise compared to metallic disk type. it just became available....you definitely need one for your hotrod!!!

I don't think you can replace the outboard CV separately from the inner. I chatted w/ majestic about it on the phone once...try calling them to confirm if you can or not. I think you have to get the whole assy though.

 

yo cyber pimp,

the service manual does describe removing and replacing the outer CV, requires a couple special tools, and probably a pain, requiring hammering it off. But, i ordered the whole assembly from Majestic anyway to make it simpler and possibly what you say, however its a separate part. Thanks, i feel better that i'm going that route.

Vapor,

Carbon LSD from ATS price is about same as Mugen(which i am running), i don't know about diff fluid changes and maintenence, but the benefits are supposed reduced wear and longevity of disks compared to metallic(ie Mugen) disks. they claim 2 sec faster laptime in skyline at some track........zzzzzzzzzzz
