I checked the archives and found a post.

Response says no gasket needed.

Another post

http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0404B&L=vanagon&P=R3966

refers to this part (not sure if correct part. URL didn't seem current)

I've noticed fresh grease on area around each outboard CV's at inside
of my trailing arm. These are "new" 30K+ KM's CV's self installed CV's
that function fine otherwise. Can't say if grease from CV's or ?
(wheel bearings?)


Now I'm curious too.

Neil.
