Can any South Central, Pa Pelicans Help!
On a short time line and would like to get this project done. I am just trying to source a used part that is in decent shape.
I am rebuilding my CV joints that only have low miles on them, but I found a surprise on one of them. The outer on the one joint has a some issues, see pictures below.   Everything else looked really good. No abnormal wear on the inner, on the cage or on the balls. So I just need to source this part from anyone that may have a used one laying around that is still in decent shape if I can. I am trying to stick to rebuilding, due to the fact that in the near future when I have the motor out for a rebuild and HP increase I will be replacing with all new.

If you assemble it right (and that's not easy to figure out) you can flip the part and the balls will ride in the unworn area. Assemble it dry to see how it will go and then mark the parts, grease it up and assemble.
In spect the balls closely for any damage.

I did look at the balls closely and there isn't a worn area on any of them, so I don't even know if this was a factory defect or not.

I also wasn't sure if this could be flipped but it is an idea. I am also going to contact my local P-mechanic to see if he has an good used one laying around if I don't hear anything on here. I was also thinking of taking a little emry cloth just to smooth down the edges of the pit, if I have to flip it.
