Price of OEM offside CV? And opinions on pattern part.

[Scottymon]

Looks like I have a tear in my offside CV boot, I think I have got it early so I'm going to try a little rubber weld repair to see if it stops spitting out grease.

However, I think in all likelihood it's going to need a new CV, as by all accounts it seems easier to swap out than use a boot kit to repair.

Soo, to my question, does anyone know how much the OEM ones are?  I've seen a pattern part on eBay for £60 delivered, that includes the inner and outer!  Comes with a 2 year warranty too, are these any good?: link

From what I've read it's better to buy oem. I think others tend to be brittle and do not last as long.

I'm not 100% sure though.

OEM... not worth risking is with a high stress component such as a CV

[Scottymon]

Sounds sensible... Anyone have a P/N and cost?

Can't help with P/N but my Indy fitted a new OEM one for £100 on mine.

That's a good price.  Did they break down the part cost with that?

Think when / if mine starts clicking I'll get some quotes, did they use a new hub bolt too?  As I hear you shouldn't reuse the original one.

I'm a bit of a glutton for punishment and will no doubt try it myself.

Sorry, can't find the invoice, but I seem to remember that the bolt got changed as well yes.
Good luck with that
