After three years of restorations, roadblocks, upgrades, detours and illness, (and no car at all this past year) My teener, although not finished, is ready to be reintroduced to asphalt. Just one major obstacle remaining (oh please Herr Doktor).
After starting it up I discover I've got a bad cv joint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif) Oh well, I've replaced more than a few and even have that used axle with joints I'd bought & stashed, for a back-up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...Doh!... Both joints are shot! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Now that they're no longer being made for the 914, I've been searching without much luck for a replacement, also haven't found any recent posts on the problem, excepting those discussing seemingly involved and spendy axle, hub, output flange conversions. I've heard the old cv's can be sent somewhere and be rebuilt, which would be fine but time is an issue(moving soon). Help. Has anyone found a reasonable source for(stock cv's) or alternative to them? I'd hate after twenty years to put her down over this, but I've just about reached my physical, emotional, and financial limits, and almost ready to pull a 'Richard Pryor' on her ass. Foot Sore and whining in the N.W. |

I will look in our stock and see if we have "good to go" CV axles. I will check my personal stock and see if I have "good to go" CVs. Freight would be from Cali. I thought I might have a new one with both ends.
