You talkin about the cage? (the thin piece in the middle with the slotted holes where the balls ride) If so, I think you can buy race cages that are stronger. I know they make 'moly cages for T2 joints. Sucks that you would need to, though. Shouldnt have to for the price of t

I would think so. With your good luck with cv's, they'll be fine forever.

Very funny about "someone" being an expert at changing cv's :x !
It aint my fault I had a banana torsion and broke 11 bus joints in one year and didnt know any better back then. :roll: :lol:
(I was too lazy to cut out the torsion and replace it on my old 2seater! Dont think I broke too many after I finally did it , though!)
