I am having problems getting a replacement CV from my supplier - its
on Back order.
But have been offerred a different CV Joint claimed to fit the XR2
See picture
http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/AJHPOTOBUCKET/HPIM4238.jpg
which shows the old CV joint and the alternative.
The alternative has a longer Body which gives a greater degree of
travel extension for the driveshaft within the housing
It is also heavier...
Has anyone encountered / used this type before?
