For anyone who's emerged from under their Vanagon covered head to toe in CV
grease after this particularly messy (albeit not horribly difficult) job, I
have great news.

I now have, for the first time in years, NEW (not rebuilt) U.S. made
complete rear axle shafts for 1.9L and 2.1L Vanagons.  These are completely
assembled and ready to bolt on, with CV's, boots, grease, etc. already
installed. No hassle, no mess. They are NOT rebuilt like the ones found at
Autozone etc. (which, I am told, have used sandblasted shafts, oversized
bearings, and boots of unknown origin).  Everything on these is completely
brand new.

The best news is, this simpler option WON'T cost you any more money.  At
$114 for one shaft, including 2 CV boots and joints, it's about the same as
the price of new joints and boots alone - and you get a new shaft as well.
So, you could say that for the price of joints and boots, the Bus Depot
gives you the shaft. :-)  (sorry, couldn't resist...)

These will, of course, fit the rear of a Syncro as well.  However they will
not fit aircooled or diesel vans, or any van with an auto trans.  I will
have a version for manual trans aircooled Vanagons coming soon.  Part # is
251 501 203G.  Two required for one vehicle. In stock for immediate
shipment.  Price includes listmember discount, which you must request in the
"comments" section of the website order form.
