Hi there guys! I recently bought a 2000 model Lada. Needless to say I have spent the last month under the car and not in but she is finally starting to run proper! Not a lot of 4x4 "s can run though a soaking wet wheat field in soggy turf! need to ask one desperate question, I need to get my hands on a inner left cv joint fast! Anny suggestions?

Hi Bevan
Ventz if he is back from eastern europe. Otherwise its Pavel at Ladapower and a 3 week wait. I have some parts of the CV from my old ones but my cage is buggered, so if your cage is ok and you only need the housing or race let me know.
Ari
PS I once got one from Neill at LadaUK and he sent it by courier on the monday and they delivered it to my door on the friday, but the courier cost 60 GBP and the CV only 50 GBP.

That would be Chis Swales. There is also Mike Heibreder in cape town and Jan pretoius in centurion.
Get prices before you decide. some are way more expensive than others.

Need the whole lot! Like a retaining ring was loose so everything was moving around and needless to say, it is pretty shot! I am not a mechanic or anything but I am learning fast!

Tried to get hold of the guys in Centurion but get a strange tone when I call! If they could help me that would be great as I am in Hartebeespoort so Centurion around the corner!

ok best is to do everything yourself then you know what you did. The manuals are downloadable from the site, and its a great car to cut your teeth on for diy. Ari locsa.atspace.com/technical.html

Welcome to the forum Bevan! Unfortunately the CVs are only available from the suppliers Ari gave you. Check with Ruan (roons) he is close to you and has rebuilt, worked, and owned 2 NIVA at one stage. He may just have CV parts left. Douw (forum name dgc) has converted his NIVA to rear wheel drive, He may also still have the front parts left. Then there was a seller in JHB who was breaking the NIVA for spares. Steve(ihar) has the contact details. As far as I know the right and left CV joints are inter-changeable BUT not inner and outer Try Michelle' s cellphone (Centurion Lada) Local interchangeable parts list is here: locsa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=technical&action=display&thread=1293Good hunting.

Hi Bevan Welcome to the Locsa Forum
I'm also super exited. Got our GB back last night. Will start fitting it today after work, I'm in Worcester and the tasks seem to take forever. Hope to take the Lada for a Drive Saturday afternoon - been a while now
Regards Stephen

Hi Bevan. I am going to import a whole lot of parts for my niva from pavel. My inner joints are cooked too. I am also going to try and cut down and weld on a new cv to the old shaft. I wil let u know how it works.

Left and right inner cv 's are NOT the same. The right one has a much longer shaft due to the diff being offset to the left. Outer left and right are the same though

Thanx for all the help guys, and the welcome! Soo glad I found this forum! Least I know now that there is backup out there! Would kill me to retire this little car due to lack of parts! I can't wait to take the old girl out this afternoon! I replaced the rear diff and axle last sunday so need to go put her to the test! I have the old diff with all suspension parts so if any of you need someting in that respect I am happy to share!

Hi Roons. I see you are in Harties! I work in Schoemansville, live on a farm near Brits next to the crocodile river! Great place for putting a Lada to the test! Would be great if we could have a chat or meet up sometime!
