This is true at least of all OEM Bus/Vanagon IRS CV's and all FWD VW
CV's I have seen.  Showed this fact to Steve Dolan the other weekend in 
fact, but here is a puzzler, I always assumed the marking was month/
year, but I got one downstairs marked 14/81, long year I guess, 
ideas?  The point about a Golf/Jetta CV has me sort of intrigued as 
well as I would never have guessed that or even looked, anybody know 
more specifically are they thicker? different in any manner?  What 
models/years, rabbit/golf/golf GTI are all different.  I ask as 
sometimes the FWD peoples prices get really appealing would be good 
to know.
