850 Parts: - CV joints best place to buy?

Cypher007 · Oct 16th, 2021, 00:04

Need 2 new CV joints and don’t want ones made of cheese.

Cypher007 · Oct 17th, 2021, 23:54

Anyone?

amazondean · Oct 18th, 2021, 06:52

They aren't made of cheese. Very cheap to buy on line, quality is usually good. You are worrying too much!

I haven't checked, but I expect PFV online have them, all the stuff I've had from PFV has been decent quality. Or go to a decent motor factor?

Ooops!

Not much help:~ probably

Tend to agree with Amazondean and Luxobarge, PFV have always seemed good parts to me, and my local factor tends to have a range of choices, budget, good and luxury. As Cypher007 is running a T5 presumably he's looking to keep it long term so the budget option would be false economy but one might question whether anyone realistically needs to put Volvo original quality 25 year lifespan parts on anymore, the rest of the car will be 50 years old before they wear out.

You want the best drive shaft there is only one place and that's the volvo dealer ...

I second that. I have always tried to use Genuine Volvo parts, from the main stealer when they are still in stock.

Cypher007 · Oct 18th, 2021, 17:00

unfortunately ive been told Volvo no longer do the shafts.

the reason im trying to get some decent parts is because ive owned the car 16-17 years done 30k miles and this will be the second time these have needed changing. think these have only done maybe 20k miles.

anyone know where i can get maybe luxury option. euro only do cheese made Q drive ones.

Give FRF in Swansea a call - they've been able to get 'unobtainium' parts for me recently so you also may be in luck. You may have to wait a few weeks if they're put on a special order to Sweden, but its worth the wait IMHO.
