Hi all. *sigh* Am repacking CV's. After cleaning/inspecting CV parts I found that I have only 10 metal bits (plates with 2 holes) and 20 bolts. Some washers. My theories: - PO/mechanic didn't install all the CV parts. - I am loosing my mind as well as Vanagon parts. - Neighbours took them because they didn't like the "music" I was making pounding out drive shafts. or, - Gremlins took them from the greezy pile of bolts etc. to add to their collection of single socks. Bentley shows Synchro as having bolts/washers/metal pieces on front CV. Rear CV shows only bolts. I have 4 new boot kits ready to install. Given that my van had some or all of these metal pieces installed, can I install with bolts only? It boggles my mind that the CV's could've been working all this time minus a few bolts/washer/metal pieces. Is this possible? Oh and.... All 4 CV outer rings are discolourd (sorta black/blue) 1/2 way through from inside toward out (if that makes sense) on each side. Are they heat damaged and in need of replacement? Thanks so much for any help! Neil.
