if i pop out my cv axle(new) and later reseat it can i reuse the locking ring on the inner end of the cv axle...are they available at autozone or other stores

JDM_SOHC

yes u can, an no their not available at autozone but im sure you could find something to suffice.... and besides if u buy new axles they come with new rings anyways...

no problem bro.... i've taken out an reused the same axle like 5-10 times and never had a problem with reusing the lock ring... i mean maybe it says somewhere ur supposed to change it but i've never heard that nor had any issues... good luck

glad to hear that you've had no problems JDM SOHC. I am about to reuse some axles that are in good shape but I read in a chiltons ( not the best source) that the rings should be replaced every time the axle is removed.

yeah i went through 3 trannys in a month so in that time i was taking out an puttin in axles like no other haha... but yeah i've just always made sure that ring is able to lock and its been alright... as long as u cant pull it out with ease when u put it in u should be fine, thats how i always judged anyways..
