Somehow I got the impression that all 4 inner CVs on the Talon were the same part number, they most certainly are not.
Rear inboard, a regular, everyday CV joint -
What I learned when building 2 spare axles - You can install a rear CV on a front axle and you won't know it until you notice the boot won't fit on the CV, the axle spline and CV spline are the same and the circlip will snap into place like everything is hunky dory. 🤔 Now you have a fully assembled CV, full of grease that you have to take back apart to install the correct CV.
Also note that you can't buy a fully assembled axle assembly, front or rear, from Honda - you have to buy an axle, which comes with the outboard CV installed, and also buy an inboard CV that you'll get to fill with grease and install on the new axle. And then you'll still have to figure out how to clamp those damnable boot clamps - I bring mine to the dealer and they've broken two of the large Honda clamps.
The inner boot, clamps, circlips and grease come with the axle.
Front inboard CV is clearly different (and smaller O.D.) and now we know what drives our wheel speed sensors, apparently they needed a mechanical system instead of a magnetic sensor. I can confirm that you can run a larger tire to get back to camp in an 'emergency'. I cut a sidewall 30 miles out and had to borrow a 32" tire to get back (I run 30's). I only used i4wd when absolutely necessary and the computer didn't seem to notice my transgression.
