Subject: Re: Front Inner Syncro CV = Joints Question

Ken, as I understand it, the front inner = CV can be replaced with the same CV used on the rear half-shaft but there is = a limitation: the front CV requires a greater operating angle than the = rear CV's were designed for. So if you rarely go off road, where extreme axle = angles are possible, you will probably get away with using rear CV's on the front = inners but be prepared to replace them more frequently.

251 598 101, Joint Kit Rear
