Today Joe and I checked out a stash of parts in York. The guy had a few boxes of assorted CV joints. I got the only 914 joint he had left.
However, there were several (NIB) CV joints that started with part number 923 that looked identical to the 914 unit. I know that they are 911 CVs, but do they interchange? Or is the CV that I bought really a 914-6 CV that won't work on my /4? The part number on the one I scored is 91433202903 and was made by GKN Automotive.
Mine (on the car) are in good shape, but it made sense to me to buy this as a spare.

Full Version: CV joint question
Okay, I just cross referenced the part, and mine is a standard NOS CV joint for a 914.
The 923xxxx? CV for the 911 seemed to be identical. Same diameter, same thickness, and the bolt holes were int he same place. Are the splines different? There has to be some difference, or should i have bought the 911 CVs and bolted?

Was it this stash? http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=708147
If I remeber correctly: 72-76 914-4 CV have 37 splines
70-72 914-6 CV have 28 splines, Maybe that was just the wheel hubs stub axle?
