Two questions;
1. which side should the "ridged" side of the ball cage face when installed? towards the axle or away? I think it is away from the axle but I didn't take a good enough 'before' picture to tell (oops). 2. One of the used joints I bought in Ventura is different than the others. It has larger balls and a lot more axial travel than the rest. It shows some wear but not extreme spalling like on the ones I am replacing. Is this a rebuilt joint? Is more axial play normal in rebuilt joints? Thanks in advance for any help. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

In the remaining pile of CVs here at the shop, there's a mix of large and small sizes. As I recall, the new ones I sold last spring were the same way. Could be from different production runs. Porsche calls Lobro and asks for thickness, spline count, and OD. As long as the degree of angular movement is sufficient, the actual design doesn't really matter. The Cap'n |
