i just came back from college and after bout 200miles i hear my cvs clicking...but only once in awhile...the question is, i am going to drop my car with skunk2 coilovers and getting some rims..should i still go ahead and drop it? it pisses me off cause ive been saving for the drop and rims and this better not set me back more...thanks

 

I generally put maintence items ahead of add-ons. It has worked well for me.

 

I agree completely. You may want to get a jar and label it "The CV Joint Fund." and save up. I have spent more on CVs than any other repair on my old Accord.

 

I agree also, a good looking ride isn't worth much if it doesn't move.

 

so what prices am i looking at if i need to get both or just one of them fixed?

 

most auto stores will charge around 70 bucks for a new rebuilt axle shaft.
70 x 2 = 140
install = FREE (DIY)


Figure around $140-150 for both.

tis easy.. 140 bucks sounds right, + the impact tool (u can get that with a deposit at autozone or advanced i think)

 

If you have a compressor than get the impact gun. If not, use a LONG *** breaker bar.

 

Last time I had to change CVs I needed a breaker bar. About a 5.5 foot bar with my buddy jumping on it worked great for the nut.

 

Yeah. Thats typically what is needed.
