Kim,
   Not sure what is triple square but I know allens
are junk.   When you buy a kit from busdepot they give
you new screws that require a special socket.   I
attached the socket to an extention and taped it on so
I can easily remove the outside cv screws.   Imagine
what you would have to do to get a stripped outside
allen.   Use wd40 when removing any type as anything
can strip.   regards gary

So, when I was removing my CV joints from my front
diff and
transmission, almost all of my bolts were of the
triple square
variety....except on one CV, which had 6 allens
instead.

So, which is considered "better"? I went by my VW
dealer, and when
the ordered some, they came in as allen head, not
triple squares.

They had some triple squares available, but they were
slightly
shorter (5mm maybe) and the threads didn't extend as
far.
