Finaly got my FTO :)

Post by Chromobolt »

Hey everyone I'm 100% new here since I finaly bought me my first FTO earlier this week!! She's a black 97 GX so I'm loving that facelift style :) Already my pride and joy I got big plans only thing is if anyone could point me in the right direction to replacing my CV joints.. How hard are replacements to find for the FTO and possible costs involved?? Anyways great to be here and can't wait to get in amongst the cruises and event days!!

P.S I'll post some pics tomorrow when the weather's better :)

wttc!

The outer cv joint can be found on ebay for about $40, I changed mine 15xxx km's ago and it's still fine - as for the inner I believe you have to get it rebuilt, personally haven't had any problems with that one however so I haven't looked into it. Good luck!

Thanks for the info guys I'm at Nowra.. 2 hrs south of Sydney I don't mind going to blacktown to have it done properly though eBay looks like a good cheap option too and I'm hoping its just the outer joint then haha haven't been able to get into a mechanic yet to have it looked at.. Just know from that tell-tale intermittent clacking I get around corners :/
