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

Thanks, guys. I can definitely feel the grooves and pits, so would rather not reuse these.
Are replacement 914 CV joints unobtanium? |

You can buy complete axles from Porsche for a king's ransom. You can also buy just cv joints but what you will get are 914/6 joints with the wrong spline count for your axles. |
