Subject:[Fwd: expected lifespan of syncro front outer CVs]
From:Randolph Feuerriegel

Greetings Mark.

I replaced the outer passenger side CV at 130KM. The inboard CV on the
same side was starting to show wear at that time. Haven't touched the
drivers side CV's yet. I did hear an explantion about the wear which
made sense. Because of road camber, the outside CV on the passenger side
tends to go earlier.

On another note, does anyone have a solution for the odometer pin
slipping out of its hole. I repaired the unit once last week. Took the
speedometer unit out of the instrument cluster and pushed the pin with
gear back into its slot on the other side. However, after a few hours of
bumpy hwy it slipped out again. Any solutions, or is the odometer warn
beyond repair. Thanks.
