I had no money, but plenty of time. Then when I did have the money, I didn't have the time. It is suggested that you replace all 4 (2 per side), as if one is starting to wear, the others aren't far behind. Unless of course you only make right hand turns or hit all the curbs on the right side. Ouch! I was just looking at the price of CV joints in Bus Depot. Boy, am I glad that I have a pre-'91 non syncro. I can buy all 4 for about the same amount you guys have to pay for one. I feel for 'ya. Peace - donna '84 Westy (Pepe) |
