if you quote your chassis number to the stores most responsible ones have access to an online database to identify the correct parts.

I do this when I order from GSF and they are very helpful as I am sure others will be too.

I believe that the main visible on the car difference between the CV joints is the centre bolt size but the above route is best to be certain.

I changed my O/S CV joint on friday , got it from Euro car parts for £17 plus vat , took me about an hour to change , I have a 130 sport est and can let you know part numbers tomorrow if it helps , I fitted an ATE one.
