My passenger side CV axle is starting to go. I am having one hell of a time finding CV assemblies for a 2012 liberty sport. Are they the same as the 2011 ones? or can anyone point me in the right direction for decent shafts?

CV's from '08-'12 should work. I found a low mileage replacement right CV (with intermediate shaft attached!) on http://www.car-part.com. Napa didn't have any remanufactured KK CV's in stock back then, but maybe they do by now. Napa remanufactured is the favorite of the KJ crowd.

You could always spend about 2k for RCV axles. You will most likely never destroy them. If you do, they have a lifetime warranty.

1 day maybe....It depends on how these CVs hold up. If I manage to get a good alignment guy for 4-4.25" then I might look more into them. I know they're warrantied for life unless you over 40s(which will never happen on a Liberty unless you sfa swap it).
