thanks ted for the input
Make sure to check the angles that the CVs will be operating at. I'd be a shame to ruin those new CVs. What about swapping axles?
i was worried about the angle of the CV, but the more i think of it, the polo was designed to run in about the same conditions, just with a shorter shaft. i'm thinking if i lengthened the shaft, it would change the CV angle, whereas if i made the spacer, the angle would be preserved, no? these CV's also look like they are tripod, as they have a lot of bend.
another thing is that i got the spindles as well, and good thing they are exactly the same because it feels like the bearings on the car right now are done... brand new ball joints on them too :lol:
