Yes, but I checked in the internet, the whole shaft costs around 250USD (GKN) and the CV joint costs only 80USD (Meyle), so it still saves a lot of money if I can just replace the joint, and as I am in HK, the shipping cost is also a lot cheaper for just the joint. So can I just buy the joint instead of the whole shaft for my EC version?
