I just purchased 2 cv axles here - described as plug and play - and when they arrived yesterday, I could hold the cv shaft and turn the cv a degree or 2 back and forth - on every cv.
Is this movement considered "worn"? When I have replaced cv axles on my Honda Odyssey (several times), I have never felt any play whatsoever on the new ones . . .in fact - the last set had worn inner cv's - dozens of techs at several dealerships failed to diagnose . . .only one service manager nailed the cause . . .still, that set had so little movement, I could not feel any . . .it just felt "more free" than the new ones. Please advise . . . |

What's irritating is that by this point Porsche should be aware of the problem and correct it. We know of at least two prior sets that came from Porsche and were returned for the same reason. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
