2002 x type rear cv axles
 

I was unable to locate a thread on this, so if I missed it I apologize.
I am looking to replace both rear cv axle assemblies due to worn reluctor rings, instead of doing just the outers I figured its easier to juts swap the whole assemblies ?
I cannot find the drivers side rear cv axle anywhere, they are all out of stock or not available ?
I am curious if the rear axles are the same or if anyone knows where to find them at a decent price ?
thanks in advance.

Hi Phantum. Sorry I can't help with where to buy new drive shafts but if the only problem with the shafts is that the reluctor rings have corroded, have you looked into buying replacement rings. They are for sale on ebay.

thanks
 

I have thought about doing the outer cv joint and or the reluctor rings, however i would like to swap the whole axles out instead.
thanks for the suggestion though.

driver's side (LHD)

C2S50486
Passenger's side (LHD)

Google search shows them available

OK
 

So I opted to change just the outers since i was unable to locate the rear left.
However now my issue is that i have replaced the axle in the car and now I cannot get the suspension to line up ??
I fought for 3 hrs today trying different sequences to attach each, nothing is working
i took of the spring bolt, the upper control arm bolt, the lower control arm bolt and the shock
If someone could please help on how to get the suspension lined up and or what the issue could be , i would be very grateful
I have the axle in , i have attached the upper control arm, but then I am unable to attach the spring bolt and the lower arm because its pulls the knuckle too far away
I tried jacking it up to take the weight and it doesnt line up..
it pulls the whole assembly towards the front and obviously has me frustrated to no end.....
PLEASE HELP and THANK YOU !!!!
