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 ???????

Nope. The parts are right. I put it under a cmm, and the cage is distorted slightly, indicating that it bent open when it failed.
I have the exact same situation that you do. I originally had the large ball/small cage combo, and the new-to-me-axle has the big beefy cages with the small balls. I'm going to call the guy that I got it from and ask which car it came out of. He has about 60 914s parted out on his private junk yard. AND. Before you mix them up, the housings are different too. I had to cmm 3 housings to find the right two to use. |

Somewhere in all this I have misplaced 3 of the inner pieces that slide onto the axle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
