Lol well do they come with the cv's as on each shaft you have an outer and an inner cv, inner cv goes in2 the g/box (but you need those ones i said b4) and the outer cv goes in2 the hub you will need the corsa gsi ones

Most new shafts come complete with new cv's but you will have to change the inner ones

I would check to see if the shafts are complete or not b4 buying
