Hi all,
Where's the best place to buy the decent quality CV Joints at the best price? My pass. side started popping about a week ago and knew I probably needed replacements but on a short cruise this morning that all got reinforced as the pass side (tire side) broke. After jacking up the teener and starting to take out the half shaft the transmission side balls and cage just feel to the concrete. So it appears I need both ends and guess I just as well replace the drivers side while I'm going through the process. A VW friend told me he got an entire replacement 1/2 shaft for only about $30 more than him ordering just the CV's when his went out in his VW truck. I know mines type IV but there's not a whole lotta places locally that stock this stuff so any parts houses that you can recommend are appreciated and will any VW 1/2's work? |

QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Oct 1 2004, 11:34 AM) Gary, The 911 axles cost more, and handle the same amount of tourque that the bus ones do. They are also roughly the same size thus, it makes more phiscal sense to convert to less expensive, redily available VW bus axles, than the more expensive 911 ones, IMHO. I am not 100% and am great at being wrong though. How much are the ones from Jim? Mike As I recall, they were about a C note for the pair, delivered. Again, I'd check with Jim to make sure they're still available. Nothing wrong with pursuing the VW sol'n. My daily ride right now is a '68 beetle convertible. There's value to me in keeping the drivetrain components porsche. Gary |
