There are some members who have gone pretty much everywhere anyone else has and never done a CV and others who after initially breaking possibly pre damaged CV's haven't again - or rarely broken another. Harsh 4wding with just a rear locker seems to see cv's break relatively quickly when a front locker is fitted...

You don't need any of the engine/torque improvements many people fit to climb where any of the other cars get to and in fact it will possibly (probably) increase your risk of CV failure - as will vehicle weight. If it is possible and easy, turn off ALL chips etc before serious wheeling...they wont help even 1% and remove all non essential equipment/weight.
Homer wrote:If you're doing the same CV it sounds like you may have a possible issue with them binding properly with the locker?
Is it passenger side? I have seen instances in the lokka where the taper is an issue so the split ring doesn't engage correctly and also on one ARB locker where there was a manufacturing defect (I think) on the same taper that also stopped correct coupling of the CV to the diff.
In all these situations they break (clicking) the CV's very easily...at times within minutes of engaging 4wd
In saying all that my bet if it's the passo side is it isn't binding correctly

If you are somehow getting 200Nm to a single front wheel then you're doing it wrong.

What I am saying is its possible to have 200Nm of torque at each wheel in the example given. Im not saying ive done it, anyway how could I possibly know??
With a locked diff center and a front Locker it is possible. FACT.
If not, tell me where Im wrong....
With the traction control the application of torque to wheels is variable based on the ASTC ECU output so is like a torque converter. Far more forgiving.
Call ity drivel if you like but I stand by it

Not many (if any) real world situations where that would happen other than possibly slippery mud where traction would be negated and shock greatly reduced on the cv

I see there are a few of you guys that are destroying boots on a constant basis so if anyone wants it that can grab it from the hunter it's all yours.
There's no point in it just sitting in a box in the garage when it could be put to usesalt36 wrote:1tuff_triton wrote:I have a factory LH cv which needs a new boot sitting in my shed.

That's a generous offer mate

His cvs are damaged, but the life hes gotten out of them is pretty damn good.
There I go giving soft serve a wrap... what has the world come to...
