i jsut bought a new cv joint for my 96 man trans Gs. (passenger side)
When i installed it onto the inside joint shaft... they dont fit togehter right, it goes all the way in, but the inside joint shaft looks to be wore down....so there is some movment in the meeting...
the intermdiate shaft bearing is good, so all I need is the inside cv axle(joint shaft), but the store i bought the cv joint from said i was foolish..
They said they never heard of a car with two drive shafts on the one side...dam you mazda!
so question....

1--is the joint shaft the same as the drivers side cv joint?

2--or what do i ask for when i order the inside joint shaft?

3--if i need to, can i buy the long single axle that the 92-93 mx3s use? will it fit?

Thats cause they are morons
The Passenger side CV is different then the drivers side
Go to AutoZone or your local auto shop
As for your third question, dont know

No you need the V6 parts.
Are you talking about the jack shaft, also known as the half shaft or joint shaft as Mazda calls it? If you truely need the shaft itself and not the bearing and bracket, Mazda charges about 300 for just the shaft from what I can tell. Better to try and get one from a junk car.

so, can anyone tell me if i can use the single piece 92-93 v6 axle, seems how i cant fint that frikin' joint shaft..
thanks guys.

Well my local NAPA auto arts store sold my the pass. side axle including the middle part (inner joint or whatever the hell u wanna call it) was only $80. I bought the driver's side for $90 confusing isn't it?
