Just got a 92 Vitara and need a supplier for either new outer CV's or complete half shafts. Seen a few options on eBay but a bit dubious about quality. Anyone used eBay/china CV's?

Otherwise what are my options? Prefer Melbourne area.

Most people just rob and pillage other vitara wrecks.

Do GV half shafts bolt up? And are they the same left to right?

Are you blowing them? What set-up do you have?

Could go Hilux CVs. Stubby shaft + Hagen widening mod + BenT kit.

haha nah it's stock as a rock. just bought it and getting a bad creaking from passenger side. might try an ebay job, at least it's new instead of risking a 2nd hand one.

Nothing will be better then a stock one.
Thats y they r $500 . The cheap ones use a different inner joint thats not as strong and doesnt have the same movement

GV shafts are longer & are the same set up as earlier Vitara - ie, 3 bolt flange on the P/S with intermediate shaft in the housing & direct into the side gear on the D/S.
They use 26 spline diff sidegears, which is the same as the late Vitara (approx. 1996 onwards - with the rounded, integrated dash cluster), but different to the 1988-1995 cars. (22 spline)
