Not really a bodge just changing the inner CV joint.

Depends how you do it.

If you change the complete inner joint by separating it from the shaft spline, then no it's not, but if you do what most people do and change just the cup part then I would argue that it's certainly less than ideal. After all, you're using part of one joint that's worn in a particular way to part of another joint that's worn in a differing way and who knows what tolerances you'll end up with... although to be honest most aftermarket "recon" shafts are distinctly dubious tolerance wise anyway.

Yes, it'll work, but it's not really the right way to do it in my eyes. The correct way (IMO) like Paul says is to change the diff, as that way everything is using off the shelf parts.
