T3 Technique brand Heavy Duty 100mm CV Joint.
Stronger and more reliable than 944 or stock replacement GKN/Lobro CVs.
Greater operating angle to suit lifted Vanagons, but are suitable for ANY Vanagon or Syncro, stock height or lifted.
Fits: 80-91 Vanagon/Syncro, 68-79 Bus, Porsche 924 and 944
Fits: 33-spline axles and 100mm flanges. **See fitment note below**
We tested these CVs for a couple of years under many different conditions, including daily driving, before we decided to offer them for sale. During our testing period we did not have a single failure and disassembly of the daily driven CVs showed them to have completely normal wear for having approximately 65,000 miles on them.
These CVs feature the same maximum operating angle (articulation) as the expensive to install 930 CVs and much greater maximum operating angle than the popular 944 CVs.
A Chromoly inner cage greatly improves strength compared to the 944 CVs. The inner cage is usually what lets go when a CV breaks under load. The Chromoly inner cages help prevent breakage.
- Offers increased operating angles that rival the expensive 930 CV joints
- Have a Chromoly cage for added strength
- Fit between the balls and the tracks is a bit looser to reduce heat and improve articulation
- The balls have a larger diameter than 944 CVs which improves strength and offers a wider contact patch with the tracks to reduce wear.
** Note 1 - These CVs fit factory Vanagon axles (and other 33-spline axles) perfectly. If you have aftermarket axle shafts, be aware that some of them have spines that are too tall. If you find this to be the case, you can simply grind/file/sand the tips of the splines a bit to allow the CVs to slide on easily.
** Note 2 - Some aftermarket axle shafts have a diameter that is too small to fit these CVs. Some are 33-spline and others are 25-spline. If you have either of these aftermarket axles shafts, you will need to find a set of factory VW axles or an equivalent aftermarket axle shaft.
