... Kelly, We had a discussion on this in the Aussie Syncro List. I highly recommend you shop around for better pricing as I found a few wensites offering the...
When the Syncro shift rods came up obsolete, I compared it to the 2wd version. There is only a very slight difference between them. Although I haven't tested...
I have used a 2wd version in a Syncro. It did work, BUT reverse and low gear where a bit difficult to get into compared to the Syncro specific rod. I do have...
FYI, those are EMPI and IMHO junk. Very poor quality. I know of at least three Syncro front shafts from that manufacturer that haven't last even one thousand...
Which brings me to ask the question... What brand / supplier of axles (or joints) is recommended? This is not the question "Who's got the lowest price?" Jim In...
Against my better judgement, I ordered some EMPI CV boots for a neighbor's Camry. I was not impressed with them at all. Two are going back to autohausaz...
I have never ever bought "rebuilt axles" and never will Does anyone buy "rebuilt bearings"? Joints are bearings after all only brand new and only OEM brand...
Dylan, I agree with you that the stock EMPI replacement axels are junk. There is an important note to add here however. EMPI also has some excellent quality...
I've got a passenger Syncro I picked up recently needing some TLC...has annoying vibration issues...among other problems. .....thought it might be the front...
Totally, You get what you pay for and I am only judging the cheapies. I've done flanges and 930s, not much better than that. Definitely not $90 an axle when...
Warren, take the joint completely apart and clean all the parts. Check the cage for any cracks. Inspect the balls and thier races in the inner and outer...
I'm running one front and one rear Empi (chinese) axle. Been in over a year and to Moab Syncro Safari and SdeM08. Must have 15k+- on them. So far, so good; but...
I need more space in the driveway, so this van needs to go. Rust-free except the usual minor seam rust. Runs/drives good. Rear diff-lock. Silver/blue, totally...
I have had a vibration for some time. This wkend I took the shaft out and it stopped after I had my wheels balanced and broke in the tires. Went to a local...
I am trying to replace my front wheel bearings on an 86 sysncro. I have the old bearings out except the inner bearing race is still on the hub. Page 40.24...
My engine temperature light started flashing at random times, even when the engine was dead cold. Based on responses to my question about the engine ground...
Put the hub in a vice, cut most of the way through the race with a cut-off wheel and wack the cut with a cold chisel--wear safety glasses!! Will split and...
Thanks Guys, I think Haynes forgot about NY Highway department and the amount of salt spread on the roads. I try to douche my van underneath as often as...
Well, when operating in such a harsh environnment, there is no law against just changing the front brake rotors every 7 years say, as a precaution.. You had...
My Volksmogen project is experiencing progress! For those who do not know, I am installing Unimog 406 axles on my 1993 Volkswagen LT 4x4. As of this night,...
Hi gang! I'm looking to ge in contact with a couple people I met at Syncro de Mayo, but don't recall names or have any contact information. If either of these...
I have gone away from using stock fronts at a minimum here in NY if the van is run all year. If it is in need of a complete brake job I upgrade for a bit more...
I had my rotor fail the same exact way, very very exciting. Surprised I didn't roll it. I replaced both rotors while I was at it. Heck, my whole front end is...
RE: Traveling Jenny, you might also post your message to WetWesties and VWVANFULLTIMERS, both Yahoo groups. And when you get up here in the North West check...
I was curipous if the 930 CV crowd would comment. I read a bunch of back posts regarding the pros/cons and feel like i have a decent edumication here. But...
You can buy the flanges. The rear stub axles need to be machined. The 930 cv is easily found for about $150 each. Yes, the cost will be way more than stock! ...
For those that are not aware, I machine the axle conversions that adapt the 930 axles and tranny flanges to 930 CV. You can find them on Avery's site under...
