about older bus and vanagon CV joints - I'm pretty sure the joints are the same (although the driveshafts arent) - but someone who knows part numbers should confirm. ABout price of these - dont be afraid to haul them off, clean them out and pack them full of grease before you decide to get new ones - i did this to the 83 about 20K miles ago - they finally were knocking like hell - and bits of metal fell out when i did lcean them - loaded up with my holy lubricant - "Mr. Molly" MoS2 laden grease and havent heard a peep from them since. I had some pretty nasty pits on the race too, but they dont seem to mind too much. just a thought. btw - i still havent gotten around to defending the honour of my diesel vanagon against the libelous 'VW Bus History' post "if you bought one of these (diesel vanagons) you deserve what you got" indeed !!!!!!! :-)
