    The CVs were aftermarket. CVs not up to spec does make sense given my setup does push them to their extreme. The LCAs and bushes are also aftermarket. It's entirely possible that the bushes have more...

    Interesting. I think next week I'll need to pull it apart and have a look at these stub splines.
    Appreciate the suggestion!

    CVs still clicking after being replaced

    So my VW T5 4-motion has been lifted about 30mm and runs some larger all terrains. It's fairly well known that you'll wear out your CVs a bit faster with the steeper angles they run at.

    I managed to squeeze my spare (same size as yours) into the spare wheel well, it's just not easy. I needed to deflate the tire and I had to jack it into place with my trolley jack. It is possible...

    I've now put 35k km on the Pirellis and love them. They probably have another 10 - 15 k in them. Super quiet, grippy and well behaved on road and have taken some solid abuse off road in their stride....

    No worries mate, best to take it easy! Ground clearance with the Seikel kit really isn't an issue in these things, so I don't think you'll miss the couple of mm smaller diameter with the smaller...
