I am pretty sure my car's original(?) CV joints have excess wear. Take a look.

I agree.
those are worn... but not completely worn out you can reverse them, switch them around and wear in a different pattern to extend the life. the available modified VW joints have not held up as long as stock joints in my experience.... so using these on the street in a mild application... especially if they are moved around... would be fine for a few years. I've put the VW joints onto my race car and had more wear in 2 years... than stock joints wore in 5 |
