Default G-Force axles (broken inner CV joint) What are my options?

Last Wednesday I broke the (OEM) inner driver side CV joint. I have the G-Force 1320 axles. Do I need to buy a whole driver side axle assembly just to get a replacement inner CV joint?

OR if anyone has a used CV joint or used driver side axle they would like to sell me, chime in please.

Thanks

Stubs? What are stubs? You mean the CV Joint?

Sorry, the CV's are stock (OEM) and the Axles are the G-Force Anti-Wheel Hop kit.

I don't know much about IRS but I looked on the G-Force website and couldn't find the CV's listed by themselves? Any idea how much they cost (estimate)?

Thanks for posting what you got guys. Depending on what route I take, I may possibly contact you for a used axle.

I am just glad the rear held together! Thats what I initially thought it was!

This is a pic of the diff support. Anybody know who makes this? (Sorry, this is the best pic I have of it)

If I remember correctly, to get the Gforce CVs you have to buy them in a kit with the 2 axles. But you could call Chris and ask if you can just get the CVs. Assuming you have both axles from Gforce already.

We've been out of town at the LSx Shootout so if you tried to call we were gone.

We dont have any stock stubs at the moment. I'm sure someone on here has a set of stock ones that they would sell for a good price to get you back on the road.

Thanks
Chris

We didn't get our GTO done in time so we took it to display along with our products.
There was a newer white V there that went a 10.4x, it hauled ***!
