thanks - read thread - Whats saying that since the 100mm shafts are a bit shorter - how much I know not but the concept is this - that one could put 90mm joints on 100mm shafts to come up with enough clearance to install an 80% shim kit thereon and use with 90mm flanges - so actually maybe the 90mm flanges with 80% shim kits would work best if hooked onto 100mm CV shafts with 90mm joints installed thereon??? Does anyone know the difference in length between the 90 and 100mm CV axle shafts???
....until they fail.
Yeah. I've honestly gone over a million miles on 90 mm cv's. I tend to pamper stuff though. Best to stay away from the bargain-bonanza-o-matic cv's that a lot of these guys buy because they don't want to soil their fingers salvaging and prepping some good originals.
Ok so great - my question is does anyone know of anyone that has used the 80% Peloquin shim kit on 90mm Mk1 axles with no problems after haveing ground down the CV axles stub ends? This is going into a Mk1 Pickup and I communicated with Brian at BrokeVW - he said that all he knew is that the 80% shim kits will at least work with the 100mm axles but not for sure on the 90s??? If grinding down ends on 90s solves Mk2 - ACN flanges from being hit and or torqued by Mk1 shafts then that is what I will use - Mk1 90mm CV axles hooking up to Mk2 ACN trans - other wise will need to go for the 100s - thanks for input!
