Subject:Re: CV Joint Dog Bone Question Years

i checked bus depot and the numbers are different for the dog bone. but the cvs are all the same from 68-91 as i thought. the axles are probably different
but are they really? and by how much?? if they gave it a different part number then it probably is something. nothing is wrong with any of my sets im just
repacking and installing. i just thought it would be easier to have it preped and just install vs. doing it the old fashion way since i have the spares. thanks
Jonce. if anyone knows more let me know. thanks Jonce
