CV Replacements

[lokalmotive]

Anyone know where I can find replacement CV joints for the MSP besides the dealer? I can't find them at any auto parts shop. Even something remanufactured will work. I'm just tired of the clicking!!!!

As a suggestion you may want to contact a Mazda recycling company (Mazmart or Mazda Recycling) they may have a used part available or an assembly at a lower cost.

Mazmart
(800) 221-5156

Mazda Recycling
(800)926-5900

For some reason I dont think so. I am not really sure about that though. I was under the impression that the msp had beefier axles.

same

Actually the axles ARE different. They are 24mm in the MSP and 22mm in the 2.0 Pro. Ask THEMAN he will know for sure

Another option is to have the oem's rebuilt. Trust me you do not want to go to a parts store and have them give you the wrong ones. There is a place in Tampa called Mike's Driveline that rebuilds CV shafts. I learned about this service the hard way after buying a set from an autoparts store, putting them in, and ended up with a shot transaxle shortly afterwards. How many miles do you have on yours now?

The axles are different. I replaced one of mine last year with a junkyard part since part stores do not carry them and even the Mazda parts network was on back-order. A good source for junkyards is car-part.com A lot of times the mileage will be listed.

I don't really have a way to have my OEM's rebuilt because this is my only car. If I take them off they need to go right back on ASAP. I have 56,000 miles on my car and these are the original axles. I found some that might work but I'm not sure after hearing that the MSP axles are different than normal Protege axles.
