Subject:Re: (rear) cv joint

I think everything I've read has been pretty clear about this, but I
just want to check... I can't mix and match pieces from two of my
(original lobro) joints to get one good joint, right?  The stamping on
both joints is the same:
VW [logo] 211 501 331 B
LOBRO 49/83 W/GERMANY % N

(The percent sign is a diamond with a W in it).

Thanks very much,
Wes
