fixed @ 0845.

no SAS.

i have two spare cv's. both are fully warrantied. so everytime i break one, i just swap them out and get a new one for free.

plus, they fully refunded the one that broke.

so 160.00 for two cv's 1 in the truck 1 as a a spare. and the money refunded back on the gift card for another back up spare.

constantly rotating them is cheaper. and when i get a front bumper, lifting the vehicle will be easier.

I'll tell you what though, breaking a front axle every single time you go out gets old real fast.  Took me about 4 breaks before I decided enough was enough and I needed to do something about it.
