You don't want to know... really..... Group: Members Posts: 2,514 Joined: 12-September 04 From: Newport Beach, California Member No.: 2,743 |
I was under the impression that these were NLA.
I don't know if this is a good price either. They have 5 pair in stock and are sold individually @ 120..00 PER CV. This is their web site CV page. ZIM'S 120.00 bucks includes grease, bearing, rubber boot, boot clip and sheet metal flange. Just in case you need one or two. No affiliation. C |

Last time I was there, Zim's had some CV's that were VW parts machined to work on 914's (similar to what some members here are working on).
Not sure if these are what you spoke to them about about. |

C yes the 914 cv joints have been discontinued which is another irritation in the continuing story of discontinued 914 parts. However most suppliers are selling quality rebuilt 914 axles ready to install with two cvs of course for 195. |

looks like a VW CV to me, look at the boot, it has the 6 thru holes instead of 4....there is no relief for the gasket....
it's a shame to see Zims screw people over if it is just a stock VW replacement CV.... |

The one I was shown was machined for the gasket. Assuming what they are selling is not the original OE CV, it would be better if their ad spelled out exactly whay you are getting. |

Zims reply on the joints:
re is the poop from our instruction sheet: 914.332.029.03 914 CV joint This New 914 Porsche CV joint *differs slightly from the original Porsche/Lobro unit which has been discontinued. We sell this unit after some special machining of the joint to make it compatible for this application. This new comes complete with the following parts: 1 new (not rebuilt) quality made CV joint 1 new quality made boot with gold cad metal flange attached 1new bag of high temp EP rated grease 1 new adjustable band clamp for small end of boot 1 new circlip It DOES NOT come with the following parts that we recommend you replace when installing these new joints: 4 per each joint, new bolts (pn 893.407.237) 2 per each joint, new roll pins (pn 999.095.019.00) 1 per each joint, gasket (pn 914.332.237.01) All these additional parts are available from our inventory *PLEASE NOTE: There is a slight difference in the outer diameter of the new joint on the side of the unit that the axle boot goes over. On the Porsche piece it measures 93.88mm (3.696), which makes the metal flange fit over it very snugly. On the new joint is has an under cut step already machined onto that side of the joint and is cut down to 89.89mm (3.539). This step makes the boot fit loosely over this side of the joint, but since the bolts line it up anyway it makes no difference. If you are concerned about leaking grease, (which I should not be a problem anyway because once it is clamped together with the bolts it won't leak anyway), you can carefully fill this small gap with some silicone seal as you assemble the boot to the joint. You must be careful to NOT get too much silicone in between the end of the joint and the boot though. If you get too much there it will cushion the torque of the bolts and allow them to come loose. Just a small amount on the sides is good, not a huge amount that will squeeze into the wrong places. |

I was going to add that your kits are better 'cause I've touched them, but that might scare people away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
