Does anyone have a CV joint to hand?

If so can you count the balls and tell me how many you can see.

Really hoping its 6-ball ;)

If you have a 6 ball CV then this company:

www.cpsdrivelink.co.uk/

offers a postal refurb service for £40 per joint (plus postage). However they only have a 6 ball machine so they cannot do the later ones (I had hoped they were all 6 ball)

Thanks for this minitehnicus - it partially answers my related question on interchangeability too I guess www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum?view=topic&catid=7&id=55761. Or could the 6-ball CV joint shaft replace the newer 8-ball shaft if the end splines and shaft lengths/diameters are the same?

If they changed them in May 2008 my cv joints ought to be the old 6-ball style then (March 2007 model) - I'll find out this evening. Either way, that's very helpful - I'm not sure whether the shaft is also too damaged, so I may end up having to buy a used one as a replacement rather than refurbing the cv joint - which is why I wanted to know that whatever I buy (provided fairly recent i.e. from 2002) will fit! Thanks again for the info.

Just to confirm - my CV joints (2007 model) are the 8-ball bearings type. I'm going to try and get one of the CV joint kits Minitehnicus listed.
