Why wont this work?? Perhaps the CV's on a Syncro are different from one side to
the next rendering them non-interchangeable for SAME side - I don't know,  I own
a 2WD. I looked at my races and they specifically wear on one side, so, why
shouldn't they wear properly on the other side regardless if you swap ends on
same side OR swap axles?
