There is a tech note that the AllZim CV joints are slightly different than the Porsche/Lobro CV's that are NLA.
Anyone ever use Zim? Any problems? Thanks! John |

QUOTE anyone know if the VW ones sold by Zims are big are small ball CV's? If they're GNK/Loebro they are the same. Even the Meyle Type1 CV's had the same size balls. So... VW CV's all seem to have the same size balls as found on the stock 914 CV. |

Ihave had more than one 914 that had the small balls were as teh big ones seem more common. I have had one 914 with small on one side, large on the other side. when ever i can I use the large ball CV. |
