Ken, as I understand it, the front inner CV can be replaced with the same CV used on the rear half-shaft but there is a limitation: the front CV requires a greater operating angle than the rear CV's were designed for. So if you rarely go off road, where extreme axle angles are possible, you will probably get away with using rear CV's on the front inners but be prepared to replace them more frequently. -Larry KENWILFY@AOL.COM wrote: > Had a question about the inner front CV joints for a Syncro Vanagon.
