I'm looking for a way to replace all four CV joints without buying complete new drive shafts costing $$$$
I was hoping to use Shaftec PJ53N or Napa NCV1128 as I know they are 108mm diameter and have the same bolt pattern
However the 928 CV joints I've been told are 36mm, and the PJ53N and NCV1128 are 40mm, so presumably even if the 928 drive shafts are 28 spline (I'm assuming they are), they still won't fit
Also, since the outer CV joints are combined with the stub axles in the later cars, rather than separate like the early cars, is there any way to refresh them without replacing the entire drive shaft?
Having just replaced all four CV joints on my other car, I am now quite keen to replace the CV joints in the 928, as almost all the transmission lash is in the CV joints which are original AFAIK
The CV boots which I've replaced in the past must be nearly 15 years old, so they're probably on their way out anyway
