The third-hand '85/86 (French) Diesel Syncro Westy that I owned while I
was living in Morocco came with cracked CV boots and cracked ball-joints
(or something in the front end).  There was a noticeable
clacking/clicking/grinding noise when I turned real sharply, otherwise
it was OK.  I drove for about a year that way (all through the dessert
at 40 degrees C) with no problems, When I left, I sold the van and the
front end died on the new owner.  I'll not let my current syncro go with
cracked CV boots.
