Hey everyone
I just got an 01 Honda Rancher 350 ES 4x4 I fell I got a great deal on it has winch plow mount new tires ITP rims & 1 1/2" lift kit it needs both front inner CV joints working but clunking
My question is does the Lift kit kill these CV joints?
they look like they are on a wicked angle the boots are ripped & looks like the shafts are very close to the joint housing
should I remove the Lift kit or do they supposed to be on a good angle
looking from the front of the machine it looks like an A frame roof on a house will try to take a pic tomorrow

 

a lift will wear out cv's quickly- but a 1.5" lift shouldn't be al that bad as long as it was properly installed. As long as the shocks catch the a-arms before the cv's bottom out- you should be fine. there's a few different kinds of lifts out there- and you didn't give much info so, I cant help with that.

if the boots are ripped, they most likely are worn out from having dirt & rocks in there- they may also just be worn out from high mileage-

that "deal" may not look so good after spending $500 - $700 on replacing cv's, bushings and boots....

 

OK I will most likely remove the lift & even if I spend $700 in parts which I haven't seen it going to cost me that much it is still a good deal I paid very little for it

 

just going by what cv's cost for my outlander $350 each-

 

ok I am seeing $100-$200es complete shaft the wheeler cost me $100
