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 . . . |

Original Porsche 914 CVs are available again. I got them by special order through Pelican.

Original Porsche 914 CVs are available again. I got them by special order through Pelican. Have you tried putting them on your axles yet? Don't get excited until you do. A couple of us have been down this road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) All of the Porsche CV joints and complete axles are the 914/6 spline count (don't remember what that is). If you buy a complete axle assembly at their criminally high price, you'll have no problem bolting them on. But if you do like I did and buy a set of just cv joints thinking they will slide onto your 914/4 axles, be prepared for disappointment. |
