I just plugged the OEM CV joint part # into Sunset Porsche's web site and got a hit ($73.64). So these are available again? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
https://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/oem-part...int-91433202903 EDIT: Don't Order these! What you get are 25-spline joints which appears to be the part for a 914-6. They won't fit on /4 axles. For more detail, see http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2698908 |

just one person's experience
I put new type 1 joints (x4) on the racecar. granted it might be an extreme environment but with limited hours of use... 20? I noticed much more wear than original joints so this could be due to my application but I am also harboring the belief that the type 1 (modified) joints do not hold up nearly as well as original specification joints used to. I'm not a fan I'm going to upgrade to 944 CV's and add real weight to the racecar in exchange for longevity.... and I hate adding weight! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have the same opinion after about 4 years since replacement. MAYBE 10k Miles on them? I haven't inspected them yet....just a mess I'd not get into at the moment. |

If so, they didn't have more than 600 miles on them, IIRC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
