I became the member of the failed CV joint club when the inner joint on my 914-6 vintage racer exploded entering turn-one at Road America. Just to spice things up, the tranny I was running has a welded diff, so the failure sent me into a spin....fortunately I avoided contact damage.
My winter project is to upgrade to a guard LSD and find beefier CVs that can handle the power my car is putting out. I know there are options out there that consist of taking other Porsche CVs and adapting for use. I'm hoping to find an off the shelf option, as my available time to tinker in the garage is limited these days. I see Tarett sells high performance half shafts and I know Renegade does or did at one time. Is there anything else out there that I should know about? |

Nice Mark - good call on the G50 parts over the 930 parts.

Nice Mark - good call on the G50 parts over the 930 parts. The turbo CV's are quite a bit wider, I don't know if that would cause an issue. The G50 CV's are the same spline but are IIRC only 1-3mm wider. They work perfectly. Money shot, you can't really see anything but the bright red Sway-Away axles look pretty.
