In preparation for replacing the CV half shafts on the wifes TB I have been researching the topic. I see recommendations for new Cardone shafts versus remanufactured Cardone shafts, and who wouldn't new for less than used....right..??
But, the reason I ask is because the pictures on the Rock Auto site show 2 different tripot designs, meaning that the new shafts are a differnet build/design and maybe not as good as original..?? I come from the VW world where new half shafts should be avoided at all costs due to their solid axles and the resulting effect of turning the car into a vibrating jack hammer. On these cars you should ALWAYS get the rebuilt OEM shafts with their hollow axle shafts.
Just wondering if anything like this applied to TB's, or whether I can happily go with new....
