Inner CV joint bolts

Post by King8v »

Hi all,

So theres been a kak sound coming from the front wheels for a few days and this morning I had some time to look. To my horror, i found that 2 of the 6 bolts holding the inner CV on driver's side has sheared off :twisted: Not sure how this happens!? But the screew part is still inside CV body. Furthermore, i found that the remaining 4 were loose!! Now how the flying **** does this happen i'd love to know, but more importantly, where does one find these in order to replace. I managed to tighten remaining 4 bolts as best i could.

TIA

Goldwagen or any bolt & nut place will sell these. Ask for Tensile bolts.
also use Loctite.
From past experience, this happened whenever I reused the bolts.

Are the spreader plate things still on the CVs?

if you undo the rest and pull the cv away the broken bits should simply unscrew by hand or pliers
