On a tight budget so cant really afford to spend to much money.
Looking for both CV AXLES for my 79 240D. Hopefully someone has some old but NIB lying around or ones with super low miles.
I am not interested in CV AXLES that have seen a lot of punishment or have many miles on them.

I would if the boots recently broke but I have been driving around for ~2000 miles with broken boots and no grease.

if it don’t blow black...take it back.
1982 300TDT 4 Speed 196K Standard Beige “VEGEWGN”. 300GD FW. Walbro FRC-8 Fuel Pump. ZadaTech LCD Boost, EGT, & Fuel Pressure gauge. Non-EGR Exhaust and Intake Manifold. 3/2 Valves gone. Soon to have Elsbett WVO conversion
1981 300D 314K Midnight Blue “The Blue Car”, Lovecrap system, owned 25 years+
1985 300TD White 198K “Betty White” Pure beauty
The VEGEWGN
That is definitely true (100K) miles. No grease: no dice. Some mechanics have the ability to stretch the boots over the axles, but the tool is expensive so many mechanics just prefer to replace, instead of repair.

thanks for verifying, Im sure these axles are original to the car so they should have been changed at least twice so far.

11-04-2012, 06:37 PM #8What can you spend? I just got a good deal on a set of Empi axles w/ the updated joints for cheap, I had been driving on a really worn and repeatedly boogered up axles. I figured since I made it to 436k I might replace them. So far so good, handles better and no more weird driveline clunks in stop and go traffic. they are easy to install and very affordable. I know Empi was a quality VW parts supplier way back when but now it is a ching chong outlet source. other than the clamps not fitting tight on the axles, which was easily corrected, it seems to be a quality replacement and comes with the needed plus parts to convert the one piece axle to a 2 piece w/ bolt on flange, etc. let me know via pm and maybe I can help you out.
