<![CDATA[CV joint clicking - passenger side sharp turning right]]>Hi, my V6 has started to click its passenger side CV joint when setting off sharply turning right on fullish lock. It will need changing as I dont want to think what could happen if the joint collapses at speed.

So I've priced the joint up at £35ish (assuming its the outer one) but is it a bitch to change for a DIY job?

Changing the c.v joint itself can be fiddly

Does anyone see issue with leaving this until after Xmas, will it hold another 2-3000 miles in your opinion?

Just dont do any burnouts or spirited driving and you should be just fine

CV joint being checked over Thursday so will know if it is indeed the CV joint or something else
