I suggest the number gets removed! Unless you don't like it or yourself.

Rather send info like that in PM.
 
Don't risk it - if your CV joints fail, you'll be stuck waiting to be towed, which could end up being very expensive depending on how far away you break down from a repair centre.

One word - no.

If a CV breaks, then it might damage your gearbox casing, which may cost just more than the cost of a replacement CV.

Plus, you might be stuck on a bad, bad place where you don't really want to be.
 
Unless you have friends or family with a Hilux/Defender/Similar don't take chances with noisy CVs.

I had a very noisy CV on my Astra two years ago and waited for the day it would snap... which it did and subsequently got towed 2km to the fitment center by my buddies Landy.
 
Go for it s ee how far u can push your car but remember if it breaks dont blame me............hoe bad is da noise if you turn?
