Are you wheelspinning alot on lock etc? Many of us on here are running XE's with most probabily the same C.V's an probabilt never broken 1 let alone 2?

Probably nothing do with the cv joints themselves. Unless there just mega cheap/faulty pattern ones or something.
Engine mount or something is probably letting the shafts move around a lot, stressing the cv's.
I assume youve got the gearbox spacers fitted etc?

Ive never broke a cv on mine.

John i think hes running an XE mate.

Dave beety, the xe engines normally come with f20 boxes but some will have been changed for the f16 from the 2lt 8v but you can run either or the f18 if you wish.
