I noticed that my cv joints have started clicking when I am making turns. I have never rebuilt cv joints before but from the instructions in my Haynes book it doesnt look that hard. My question is should I attempt a rebuild or is this a good opportunity to get some aftermkarket goodies? (aka. early Christmas present smile.gif) Also what is the benefit of switching to aftermarket CV joints/axles? and what is a good brand to look for?

+1 on the remanned axle route
its so much easier just to replace the entire cv axle... And very inexpensive. I payed $55 per side from napa auto parts to replace mine (not sure how the 4gen prices compare to 6gen, but prob close) Its just not worth it to do it yourself. I used to work at a dealer and got payed to rebuild axles, but at the low prices auto parts stores offer remanned axles, its just not worth my time... plus you get a lifetime warranty if you keep the receipt in your glovebox
