   I have searched this one till my desktop & brain are overheating  :o

I have a 2012 UXV 500I LE, as we all know by now lol  ;D

I need new CV boots on all the axles & as luck would have it I can currently just buy the complete axles for about the same price as the boots would cost me alone.  All the axles say 2013 & up though - I dont see any difference in the 12' & 13" model years axle wise & even kymco USA & local dealerships couldn't tell me what & if they were a bit different...

Anyone with any experience ever have a problem here or know if there is a difference.  I imagine even UXV 700 axles will fit/interchange around that time frame - to save the company mfg costs but I have been wrong before.

  Hate to buy them & be wrong but I'm getting to where I'll just about risk it.......... ???   

Also the front left diff dust seal is needed & I cant find one to save my life -  my diff fluid just spills out on steep hills.    Anybody know where one is   

  I'll stop for now before I wear out my welcome guy's :-X

  Thanks once again, I really love this old machine & appreciate the help!!!!

I'm quite willing to bet your $$ that the 12 and 13's are the same. But I've been wrong before!
Good luck!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Thank you once again sir!  I'm thinking the same & just needed a push  - I guess in a few days we shall see  :D

If it does or does not work  I'll report back my findings.   Its crazy to find them so cheap for once because of the age but its about time the universe threw me a bone.... :P

Watch them not fit now  ;D

One other question,  do the rear axles interchange ie left to right, right to left swapability?  They look identical...
