My Syncro has these in the front only. Anyone else have these
    in the rear?

> It goes between the inner side of the inner CV joint and the axle flange on the tranmission.  It is shown in the upper left side of page 42.7 of the Bentley Manual.  It is sort of irregular  round shaped with 6 indentations on the outside edge that allow the cv bolts to pass by it and hold it in place.  I think that it is "Syncro Only" as my other Vanagons did not have them.
