A few questions...How does a CV fail? Is it progressive or instantaneous? Any warning signs? How many miles does a CV typically last before it fails? When it fails, is it catastrophic? Can it cause an accident if you re at highway speeds or underbody damage? Can our 914s run with just one halfshaft...even temporarily?
I understand stock 914/4 CVs are NLA. What is the best recommended solution? Got photos of a blown CV? TIA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
