Hi all,
Where's the best place to buy the decent quality CV Joints at the best price? My pass. side started popping about a week ago and knew I probably needed replacements but on a short cruise this morning that all got reinforced as the pass side (tire side) broke. After jacking up the teener and starting to take out the half shaft the transmission side balls and cage just feel to the concrete. So it appears I need both ends and guess I just as well replace the drivers side while I'm going through the process. A VW friend told me he got an entire replacement 1/2 shaft for only about $30 more than him ordering just the CV's when his went out in his VW truck. I know mines type IV but there's not a whole lotta places locally that stock this stuff so any parts houses that you can recommend are appreciated and will any VW 1/2's work? |

One 914 I bought had I believe to be VW Bug, or Bus or something CV joints on it. The shafts where 914, but the CV where VW, the mounting was the same, same diameter, four bolts, two pins. The only visiable difference was the balls and race were smaller, so presumably they are not rated as strong??? However they were on my car with no problem, until ignored torn boots got the best of them.
Can anyone pipe in on this, or other replacements that fit the stock hubs? How about aftermarket sandrail and dune buggy CV's, they got to make some strong ones, do any fit???? dave Dave |
