Jus' noticed I'm missin' a CV joint bolt. Is this a must replace or no big deal?

Unless you like being towed and replacing starters and transmission housing parts - replace it. It's a big deal.

Huge deal.

Yes, replace it. They aren't very expensive from your Porsche Dealer Parts Dept. Small $ for peace of mind and cv joint.

are you sure that is the only one that could have come loose? consider yourself lucky. retorque them all and put in a new one.

Thanks!!! Glad I asked.

We're glad you asked, too.

We would have to have your axle let loose, come swinging around and smash up the transmission and starter.

Too much of that going around lately. Be sure to put the correct knorr washer under the bolthead, and then retorque them at about 500 miles.

Hey, chief, should we use a thread lock on those pesky bolts?

Short answer: no, but safety wire is a good idea.

That question was asked recently, Dino... others have discussed it better than I can.
