Inner front left CV Joint replacement kit? XC90, 2003, 2.5T AWD

Hello, i have a XC90 2003 2.5T AWD and i'm looking for a CV Joint for the inner front left side.

I've looked in many web-shops but everyone say there isn't a suitable one for me.

I cannot even find a OEM number for the item.

Some shops say that you have to replace the entire CV Axle, due to no OEM number available.

Help please.

Hi oragex, that is though only the boot for the joint.

I'm looking for the CV Joint.

I believe the metal components are not sold separately. Try to ask on this UK forum perhaps for a place to source a quality aftermarket replacement for the whole axle https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=19

New GKN axles are about US $300-350.

You can always try your local junk yard in Finland...

I ordered a "new" cv-axle.

First time changing one, i wonder is there a need to add front differential or gear-box oil after i replace the cv-axle?

In other words, when i remove the cv-axle is there going to be leaking oil?

Re Axle Job...
- ATF only leaks out of P80 cars bc it is open design.
- For P2, the design is different, there is a cup seal, so when you remove the axle, no ATF will leak.
