Miller drive shafts

PostPost by: jimj » Fri Sep 07, 2012 9:18 am

After maybe 20,000 miles there`s a bit of play in my Sue Miller CV joints. I know Sue doesn`t sell them now, has anyone replaced just the joints?

I would guess I have over 30,000 at this stage and no play....

BUT, by coincidence, I asked my mentor mechanic with zillions of years experience would it be hard to change them.

He thinks not.
And they do seem very modular.

I do recall that when I thought there was in issue with the CV shafts shortly after putting them on the car.
Sue offered to send me CV's to change out.
So it must be doable.
(In the end it was an issue with the Diff Mounts so never needed the CV's)

I know Sean Murray has changed a CV on his Spider Driveshafts. I would imagine the work required is similar in terms of changing the CV once the shaft is off.

Would be worth a chat with Susan.

Hi

I replaced all the CV gaiters on my set. I gave Sue a call and she sent them out. Mine had all perished as the car had been standing on a gravel drive for a loooong time.

I took the CVs off of the shafts to change the gaiters; easy job no problems.
