"Especially for the Vanagon" was relative to my Golf.  I'm sure he meant
all tranporter models since he was telling me that he had just fininshed
the job on his '68 panel bus.  As we all know the buses experience a healthy
amount of side-to-side rocking motion which adds additional wear and tear 
on the CV joints.  Driving home from work a couple of weeks ago I drove into
some cross winds that damn near blew me off the road.  That ol' Vanagon was
rocking and rolling all of the way home.
