[irwazza]

Hey buddy. I got both of mine replaced. Mitsubishi paid for parts and I had to pay for labor. Mine is a 2007 ML.

[TUFF TROOP]

Yeah I just broke mine during the week dam front lockers .. I've ordered a new shaft thru my local repco store as the genuine cvs are crap!

[marty e]

not 12 months old let should be under new car warraty then there is the 10 year warraty for the drive train so i should not pay a cent i no the new one cost $1002 i think they are made of gold

[borngeek]

not front locker... too much right boot, TT!!

How did you make it fail? Oh, which side too??

A CV is a much cheaper replacement than a diff, so admire it as a fuse.
I have been pretty gentle with my vehicle, but still managed to snap one... So far.

If mits are not willing to warranty look around the wreckers. Have not tried the repco aftermarket but have been told they are weaker.

Do you have the REPCO part numbers? Our local distribution centre is saying they don't stock new triton CV's yet. It would be good if they did because the repco ones are usually a lot cheaper than genuine and make great spares . Most of them are made in China though and in my opinion not as good as genuine.

no locker the right side it broke back in june going up a hill thats all south port fix it new one they say now i went around a corner in two wheel drive and you can here the cv banging

[Cowboy Dave]

Marty I can't predict a different result but given your location I recommend you try Eagers at Newstead. The service people there are genuine decent people and will listen to your issues.

That is the funniest thing I have read on this site for a long time.

I think someone has hijacked geek's account

I did one. Rhs, YouTube tricky cv hill. It's one of fridgie's videos of me. Flat out, 1st gear, bounced the front and snap. Thanks went to homer for his spare, I gave him the broken one and got it rebuilt. Was about $160 I think. I now have a spare pair, from a glx (just need to put the abs ring on it). I got my pair from a wrecker $400 delivered from tassie.

Right foot isn't a drama until it grabs traction

They will replace clickers under warranty.
Ask them if you can buy/keep the old one(s)....

//and we all know why those gutless v6's cant break a cv

I never realised they would replace CV's under warranty, as I figured they would be considered a "consumable" for a 4x4. Will have to get them to do it at the 60,000km service, as well as replace the manifolds.

[marty e]

thanks to all the people that replied they replaced the right one back in june under new car warranty now the same one has gone again in L4 nothing bad you could have done it 2wd turnd a left corner and i herd
the clicking noise so i think it should be under warranty it dose state all drive line conponets as well as the cvs time well tell goes back in on tuesday

[4wd26]

Michael (service manager) at Capalaba will give you the right royal runaround- nice bloke but when it comes to warranty it's like it is his money.

time off the road (without your vehicle) dosn't seem to be a high priority either......

good luck

[marty e]

well just got a phone call from the dearler and it was the left cv inside broken will be replaced
under warranty so all is good

[Homer]

Can you ask to get the old one Marty? Probably not much chance being a wty replacement but worth asking as they can be reco'd

[Lee-thal]

Good luck on getting the old one, All failed parts are owned by MMAl and Returned.

[Homer]

Yeah thought so.
