I went over to Blind Chicken Racing and looked up CV Joints 101. The 914 CV is a slightly modified Type 1 joint. Type 1 shows to have 12 degrees of articulation. Going to update to 911SC rear stubs and hubs requiring 100mm CV joints. Type 4, Thing 181, 924/944 are all 100mm with 22 degrees of travel. VW Bus and Vanagan are 100mm too but with 17 degrees of travel.
Bus CV joints are about 1/2 the price of 924/944 with 5 degrees more travel than the stock 914. Any reason they would not be more than heavy duty enough for the job? |

I didn't have any CV failures until my supplier changed from unbranded to Empi 2 years ago. I changed to GKN/Lobro as soon as the data started coming in from a couple of track drivers.
Wndsrfr installed one of my older (pre-Empi I believe) axle assemblies right before Daytona last weekend and had no issues other than some grease slinging. Although I never expected my stock replacement axle assemblies to be used in high powered track cars. |
