I need to replace the short shaft CV Joints again. I've just refilled them with grease, but their days are numbered. The CV Joints are $200 each from the dealership, although the entire replacement shaft is INSANE. Eurotruck used to source the shafts directly from the OEM (I think GKN). Does anyone know where I can get the entire shaft at a reasonable price? Otherwise I'll plan on rebuilding the same shaft again with new joints. | ||

I've been in touch with them for the day I need to refresh some running gear. I reached out to them via email to discuss needed to measurements to confirm fit and they were very responsive. | ||

Braingears Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: St Petersburg, FL Vehicle(s): G320 & ML320 Posts: 1450 | RE: G320 Short Shaft They shipped it FAST, and included shipping fees. At first glance is appears to be a very high quality short shaft. The only observation is that it doesn't appear to be the same black, high carbon steel as the original GKN. Time will tell how many miles I will get out of this one, although $137 is a lot easier to swallow! | ||
