I think I broke my CV shaft this past winter... It has finally started making noises. That last big snow I was out doing donuts, full lock + ~6500rpm == clicky-clack goes the wheel. :HYF:

$266 for a "dealer only" driver's side CV shaft. :(

Just a note to all... take care of your beaters while your fun cars are down for the count.

Heh, I had an '87 Prelude I drove around for ~2 years, but it cost 3x more to repair than it was worth... (shocks, struts, two new brake calipers ($400/ea):eek:... ) Ended up trading it in, with the Ford discount and the cash I was going to put into the Prelude for repairs... it put a decent dent on a brand new '04 Mazda3's payments. I try to take care of her, but my foot gets the best of me sometimes. :lol:
