Great video. If I may the reason those bellows are rubbing together might be an easy fix. Cut off those pinch clamps. Slide that boot out over those ribs. Then install a new pinch clamp. This will elongate the bellows and give you more space between the ribs of the bellows.

Yeah stretching the boot out would keep the ribs from rubbing but I am not sure about adding in additional "stress" into the boot. Where it sits is the natural length of the boot and after 30K miles, the ribs look almost new. If one does fail, I might try that to see if it lasts longer. Thanks for watching! nate

Great video and very in-depth! I was wondering on the newer joints like on my 2006 Jetta TDI, where the outer race is equally spaced and there is no wider or narrower part, should you still clock it so lets say one side has the ball on the top and the other side has the "flat" portion on the top, in other words so the balls on one side are offset from the balls of the opposite side?

@ThatBaldwinLife

I am not familiar with the Jetta joints but since your CV angles are so low, I am not sure it will matter much. The clocking is really beneficial when you have more severe joint angles and allows for less binding during rotation. nate

They can click if the grease turns hard or if there isn't enough grease. If you catch it early, a quick clean and grease will be fine. Take them apart (one at a time) and inspect the races and ball bearings for any abnormal wear or pitting. Some slight grooving is the races is fine. Reassemble and put in fresh CV grease. nate

That is how you rebuild a CV joint. There are no spare parts you can put in the joint nor would you want to mix old and new parts. Your options are to rebuild like we did or buy a new one.

We are around 17.5” in the rear with the old GoWesty 1.5” lift springs. Regarding the 930 joints, our WBX doesn’t put out enough power to cause any issues with the stock style joints. We did put in the higher angle 944 joints when we got back from Canada though. The 930 joints are great for high HP or torque engines and vans that are lifted more than ours. Chris at T3 Technique has new joints out that are like 930’s but don’t require new flanges. Nate

Working with existing GoWesty non lifting springs. Will redo TA bushings, wheel bearings, CVs and adding Radflow shocks. Is it worth it to go up to 944 CVs or stick with German stock ones (GoWesty deluxe bundle) in your opinion? I do some off roading but am very careful. Gosh at this point I feel like I owe you a consulting fee 😉. Thank you 🙏

@ThatBaldwinLife

Жыл бұрын

At that ride height and mild off roading, the stock style joints will be more than fine. They are actually a bit stronger than the 944 joints as the increased articulation for the 944's come by having smaller balls in the cages than the stock ones. If you don't find yourself binding the stock joints, I would stick with a high quality German joint. The Burley Radflo shocks are awesome and are on our list for an upgrade in the future. Also use a high quality CV joint grease like I show in the video. Do not use the Redline CV-2 grease that GW and others tout. Sounds like your van's gonna be dialed! nate

I ordered a BRAND NEW GKN Lobro axle with CV joints attached from Bus Depot and it came with the 3 outer rings on the CV joint facing the axle/tranny. You mentioned that is the wrong way to have it facing. Why? Should I be concerned? Also it appeared the outer race did not have a chamfer facing the axle/tranny... its a flat edge. Again, should I be concerned? Funny, because this unit appears to be brand new from the factory.

@ThatBaldwinLife

10 ай бұрын

Not uncommon. It would probably be just fine to run it the way it is, especially if you are stock height. But, if you want a lesson in CV rebuilding, you can take it apart and see how it was put together. The outer race with the three rings is not as important as I have seen them run both ways. I just try and be consistent. The inner cage should have the chamfer facing the axle. If you decide to take it apart, be aware it is a new joint and will be tight. A bit harder to install all of the balls in the cage. nate

How come you left out the hardest part of the job? I did this job to one axle on my van and getting the wheel side 1st bolt in on re install was a major pain, had a friend hold the axle while I struggle for 10 minutes to get the bolt in, boot in the way dark and hard to see bolt. If you have any tips for getting the wheel cv bolts on I would appreciate it. Also you left out to recheck if bolts are tight after driving 50 -100 miles.

Paul I'm going to guess that it was because of the CV-angle during the time you were trying to get the bolt in. If the van is on ramps, with the suspension partially compressed, the CV angle is not as much. But if you have it jacked up, with the suspension hanging at max droop, it can be real hard to get that first bolt in because the CV won't just lay flat onto its flange.
