CV Shafts
Anybody know of some heavier duty CV Shafts for my Bonneville SSEi? I've got semi-light mods right now and still manage to go through a CV Shaft a year at least.

Where are you getting them from and what brand?

I don't remember what brand the last ones are. This last one appears to have broken inside the hub assembly. The car will not move under it'* own power, but the cv shaft is spinning (trans is fine as far as I can tell). I haven't got the car apart and won't for awhile since the snow is looking like its going to stick around for awhile. Just looking at my options. I know the last set came from Advance Auto Parts (bad idea), but I wasn't impressed with the parts from Carquest or Napa. That pretty much sums up the parts stores we have around here.

Back from when I replaced mine I am not aware of any options for heavy duty. Best I can recommend is stick with a good manufacturer, like Moog for example.

ZZP has special built CV Shafts for W Bodies. I wonder what they are doing different to merit a Stage 2 classification.

Ask these guys to make some custom, dunno if they will or if you want to pay but they do make custom

I'll try and get some Moog ones. Hopefully I'm not going to have some trans issues from this whole debacle too. Having fun trying to find a car trailer with a winch to get the dang thing home.
