Hi all! Have got a CV joint on its way out on my 95 T5R auto estate,passenger side front.Am I as well to replace both sides or is it only necessary to do the side that is clicking?do I go for original Volvo or aftermarket parts,or is there an upgraded axle assembly available? Will be off the road for a while after the accident with my old TVR so I am intending to do the job myself.As a novice mechanic am I taking on too much? Any advice would be gratefully recieved!
