I have just had the nearside outer CV joint fail at the end of a track day. The existing set up has the original 80K drive shafts and CVs.

 

Can anyone recommend the best quality CV that I can purchase? Car is running 245BHP and 310 ftlb of torque so would rather not trust a pattern part as such.

 

I have always used GKN on my TVR’s and never had a problem.

 

If anyone knows a part number for the GKN item or recommend a similar quality part I would appreciate it.

 

cheers.

I'd give TPS a ring and see what kind of price they offer on these, as it may be competitive for an OEM quality product.

I did thanks. £119 + VAT with a surcharge of £114!

 

None in stock and possibly a delay because of Ukraine...

 

Since spoke to Eurocar parts. Should be able to get hold of a GKN For £60!

 

Lets see if it turns up and is the correct one...

Maybe also search for NOS whole driveshafts of the correct part number on ebay?

I picked a genuine one up for £25 delivered once.

NOS?

New Old Stock.

Got a top quality GKN part from Euro car parts. Fitted it today. All is good.

 

My son got it from Euro car parts and with a bit of his discount and haggling actually got it for £45 which is a bargain.
