Where to rebuild outer CV joints or buy new? 89 NA6

Post by kuroneko » Thu Dec 27, 2012 7:07 pm

Merry Christmas good folks, hope you all had a good one.

Does anyone know a good place to get replacements for my outer CV joints? or to get my ones rebuilt?

I've asked a few places, and no one has replied me so far. Thought I'd quickly ask on here before I call around.

Thanks :)

ADL can supply them as well. Not sure about the repco kits, but the ADL kits come with grease, replacement circlip, boots and a new hub nut.

Only slight issue is that the hub nut on the ADL kits is 32mm and the original Mazda one is only 29mm.

If you are going to do them yourself you will need a torque wrench that goes up to about 220 lb ft (about 300NM) or greater. The required torque for the rear hub nuts on and NA is 159 - 217lb ft/216-294NM.
TG Sports, classic roadster - modern technology. NA1800, 99 head, 11:1 +2mm Wiseco pistons, Link LEM, Alloy f/wheel, JR headers.
