I have just disassembled My two rear axles and 2 of the CV joints had a small amount of pitting. I found I had two used CV Joints in good condition left over from when I did My Son's beetle's rear axles a couple of years ago.. I had to disassembly & clean 5 or 6 axles to find some good CVJs, that is without any pitting. Now one of these Constant Velocity Joints looked very new, but the Ball Bearings were MUCH larger than the standard type found on a type 1, and looked much stronger, it also seemed ?? to pivot further than the standard CVJ. Can anyone tell Me what this CV Joint was off ?? 914 - type 3 or 4 ?? the bolt holes and the Outside diameter were the same as the normal type 1 CV Joints... fitted the new "LOBRO" boots... etc...

Lee Noonan -

Its off a Beetle they change the design a few times there are 3 different size balls and races used.

They dont mix n match.

Thanks Dave...
