I have a 2003 outlander 400 that I purchased with a missing front left driveshaft. It seems that there is a known issue with these driveshafts being too short and leading to an inner CV failure.

This post here http://www.can-amforum.com/forums/ca…-cv-joint.html says that the later axle should fit with some modification of the ball joint. Given that the cup on the inner plunge joint seems to be in reasonable condition am I better off to buy a 2003 axle and outer CV and a reconditioning kit for the inner CV or to get hold of a 2007 onwards complete axle with inner and outer CVs and modify to suit the later axle.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards,
Tote
