Subject:      Syncro Front CV's
Comments: To: Vanagon@VANAGON.COM
My front CV's are making LOTS of noise when turning on full or almost
full lock. They were making a bit of a noise when I purchased the
vehicle (105000km) and they have been reversed. The noise is
considerably worse than when I bought the vehicle. It is difficult to
say how mush noise is acceptable.....
There is about 175000 Km on the clock and I am seriously considering
changing them before they let me down.(In the dirt somewhere)

Can I determine if I have 90mm or 100mm outer CV's without dismantling?

Do 100mm CV's last longer than 90mm CV's?

and

If I have 90mm CV's - can I just fit 100mm CV's ( I would only want to
if they last longer)

Cheers for know
