Subject:VC Confusion

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>hey all,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>i was reading Derek Drew's Brilliant article about Syncro's VC on the Syncro.org website.&nbsp; This is a very informative article and website!&nbsp; One thing that confused me however, was a statement about the life expectancy of the VC.&nbsp; According to the Article it states, the VC should last 60,000-70,000 miles.&nbsp; My confusion is this, does that mean 60,000-70,000 miles period or while the VC is engaged?&nbsp; Without really knowing everytime the VC is engaged how can this be measured?&nbsp; My Syncro Westy has roughly 60,000-70,000 miles on it and no sign of VC problems, however, i believe the UJoints are starting to go.&nbsp; So should i start saving for a new VC now or do you figure the VC has only been engaged 1/3 of those miles so maybe only 25,000 miles on he actual VC?&nbsp; Any insight here would be great</DIV>
