Reply to "CV Joint Conversion ?"

Here's the little I know about CV joints;

1. Are supposedly able to carry more torque, but that is subjective I guess depending on what is an 'equivalent' size to a U-Joint.
2. Have some telescoping effect within the race, so are often a lighter design.
3. Are fitted to most front wheel drive vehicles these days and capable of 250,000 miles as long as the rubber boot is not compromised - unfortunately it often is.
4. Cope with more acute angles better than u-joints.
5. Cost about double that of a U-Joint halfshaft
6. Are not rebuildable
