New CV Joint
 

Hey all, just want some advice / opinion.

Need to replace my RHF outter CV joint, would you replace it with a genuine Subaru part or just aftermarket? If aftermarket is there any particular brands?

Have an 05 STI with minor mods / daily driven.

Cheers
Paul

are you replacing the whole joint or just the rubber boot?

i would use genuine parts if doing the boot and clips, grease etc

if its the whole joint try getting a 2nd hand driveshaft

Phone outer control in Myaree they will supply you with what you need

Yeah require new joint, assume outer control CV's are strong enough? Do you know what grease is used to lube it up?

Hi mate i supply cv shafts and joints all day long i have used the gsp ones in my liberty and now in the wrx the lib had more power and did not have one issue at all

im sure outer controll sell gsp and bearing wholesalers i also have used they in 450 rwhp ss with no drammas so im sure you will be fine

if you need hit me a pm ill give you some details ill look arfter you but look for these brands at a minumum or as said get genuine but i guess they are pricey

Yes we use outer control all the time and have never had a problem with their joints

Oh and use Subaru genuine cv grease, out control can supply grease also

If outa control can't do it, allan's cv's in Osbourne Pk will help. Can rebuild old. We had hells own trouble sourcing cv for 06 Sti. Not one spare in Oz. These guys sorted it for us.

What's so good about genuine Subaru CV grease?

(am I missing something? It appears to be normal Moly DiSulphide you can get anywhere???)

i never said anything about it being better than anything else on the market, it was just a suggestion
