CV problems?

[crotchrocket]

Yep...after lifting with 912's & a one inch spring spacer in the rear, & about a dozen rotations on the T-bar adjusters, my stock boots lasted about 1-1/2 years before tearing.
I had anticipated & accepted the fact that they would eventually go TU, & had a set of mec-a-tecs from www.independent4x.com at the ready.

Using Billys handy write up, I was able to do it myself & $ave BIG money!

Where abouts is the link for changing the boots? Do you have one?

The how2 on replacing the CV boots is in ... wait for it ... the how2 section. It's Billy's write up but I converted it to pdf so that you can print a copy to have handy during the install.

There's also a write up on installing diff drop brackets there too. This one was written by StarChild from an Isuzu forum but I converted that one to pdf as well.

Both are jobs that you can do in your driveway if you are willing to spend a full day at it and don't mind getting really dirty.

My lift was done by the PO. I'm pretty sure it's a full 3" in front. It put my CVs at such a harsh angle that the half shaft was almost touching the outer race. It's no suprise that the CV boots can't handle that bad of an angle. I was killing CV boots about every 6 months till I dropped my differential 2". I haven't had any problems since.
