So I had just installed my new setup in the front and I was thinking about the diff drop kit, well I learned I needed it the hard way.
My pasenger side CV is making a horrible grinding noise, now i need to replace it. theres 3 options:

1) go OEM, lube it and take it up the a hole
2)cheap out and buy a generic one
3) rebuild my current CV

Does anyone know what the best option is or if there is any "upgraded" CV i can look at that are around the same price as the OEM ones.

I guess this goes to show, a $50 dollar diff drop can save alot of money and stress.
 
*UPDATE*

Pulled off the tire to make sure i wasnt crazy, The retention ring holding the center cap of the wheel came loose and sounded like a messed up CV.
I can breathe now
