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) |

Got rid of my clunk. Had to go through all my salvaged joints to find a good one.
Turned to the white car and found an almost new one on the passenger outer. No broken cage just REALLY worn out outer joint and the cage had big wear divots where the balls are riding. I have 40 pounds of junk. Time for the purchase of 8 new joints. (2 cars). |
