Jim, Yes it is the metal cover that is damaged. It looks like the driveshaft has been pulled out and it pulled the ballrace into the cover. I have still got the damaged one so will get some pics up. Again the chap at partco was really helpful, The boot he found for me fits the joint like a dream thought it was very tight getting the rubber on the driveshaft.
I am thinking that there may still be further damage, The driveshaft seems to be half a centimetre too short. As I tightened the cv joint onto the transfer shaft I could see it loading the engine mounts. I am now at a loss as to what to check next.

There is the inner part of the joint with the 6 or so steel balls in a cage and then the outer ring that has the grooves in that i presumed is what is damaged on yours. The the rubber boot and the end cover of the joint that holds the boot on. Is this end cover the part that is damaged on yours ? Jim On 06/07/2010 15:54, Mark Miles wrote: > >It just gets worse.
