I bought half shafts from Napa about 2 years ago. The other side's boots blew out. This side just destrucked the cv ... great.. John. >>> TJ Hannink <tjhannink@yahoo.com> 12/22/04 6:13:16 PM >>> I wonder if you have 411/412 or Porsche 914 axle shafts? I have a set of 412 auto trans shafts stashed somewhere. I hung on to them when I junked the 412, I thought they would fit the Carat, the joint diameter, bolt pattern and shaft length looked the same. 412 cv's have a different part number than Type 2 cv's, but they look identical. Maybe the spline count is different? Tim VWNut Hawk <vwnut@HAWKCOMPUTING.COM> wrote: I didn't mean that the other side is necessarily a different. I don't have the other side off and can't tell. All I know is that busdepot shows one CV for 68-91. And that it's for manual and automatic. But the damn thing I have has fewer splines and won't take the new CV. Maybe I've got a shaft from a different VW? Strange.... >>> Mike Collum 12/22/2004 4:37:13 PM >>> Though I haven't replaced the CVs on the axles of my '84 automatic, I have serviced them. The left and right axles are of different lengths (which seems to be common knowledge) but all 4 CV joints are identical. Mike '84 GL 7 pass auto '85 GL Westy 4 spd > That's interesting.
