Last weekend I FINALLY got around to doing something on my dads car again. I put his axles back together ! Upon assembly I noticed there were 2 different cages and two different sized bearings. Obviously the O.D. of the cages was the same but the spots where the bearings "snap" in was different. To make things even more interesting I also had some 944 axles (CV's) apart. Upon examination of them I find the larger 914 bearings are the same as the 944 bearings ! What gives with the smaller diamater bearings ? are the bearings year specific or maybe inside/outside specific ???????

I've been screwing around with the CVs on my car. I broke a joint a few weeks ago, and my car's been on jackstands ever since.
I drove 75 miles to get a rebuildable axle. When I get it home I find out two things. 1) my original cv joint isn't broken, it just fell apart for some reason... WTF? 2) The new axle has smaller balls and WAY beefier cages. Like .075" thicker. |
