what are the advantages of cvds and the dissadvantages

WEll your not going to have as much play with them as in the half shafts ( stock ). But for the price 35.00 unless you have random maney laying around there not nescessary.

IMO, ever since the newer style output shafts began to be used on the Pede, there are no advantages to running CVD's.

Disadvantages would be:
-cost
-slightly decreased suspension travel
-different size wheel nuts from stock
-the need for precautionary modifications to be done to prevent them from simply falling apart.

What year did the newer style output shafts start being used?

I want to say last summer, but do not know for sure.

As long as your output yokes and axles are not worn you wont have any "play".
So what he meens is with a CVD the pin that holds the axle too the shaft is a lot tighter tolerences,which meens less driveline slop.
Basically unless your running high high power BL systems and or racing,you dont need them.

In regard to the yokes, use the right tool for the job & make sure you are prying on the universal ball in the right direction.
