i wouldnt pay more than 60 bucks for a CV, as far as telling if they are good or not i couldnt tell ya, i always broke mine as soon as i put new ones in, but they really shouldnt go bad unless the boot got torn and all the grease got out and they were ran for a while.Jay04Taco said:How much play should there be in the CV Axle.................Just curious as to how to tell if a cv axle is bad, i know there should be a little play, but should it be up and down, or side to side! THX!
