Reviews of GKN CV joint

This is a brand new inner CV joint from GKN. It is seemingly pretty seized up. I pushed on the inner ball cage with a bit of hand force trying to get some movement and it pushed out into the position picture and is stuck there now. I thought the CV joints were supposed to articulate nicely? At least that's what I saw in videos of other joints. Does it just need a bit of grease to get started and to be installed and it'll wear in and articulate once on the vehicle and being used?

If you don't mind piecing it together, buy new joints and swap them onto your OEM axle shafts. GKN is a good cv joint brand.

I bought these GXN Lobro's and I've been very happy with them. From what they guy told me where I bought them (local german car part place) he said they used OEM internals. Also they have solid shafts instead of the OEM hollow ones.

As I told you the Ibiza/Polo9N/Fabia driveshafts are all the same in length. The Ibiza ones are the easiest to get hold off. The best inner CV's to use are the ones from GKN, they’re hardened and do not rust.
