Re: [partswanted] CV's

["Curt V" <curt_v@hotmail.com>]

I bought a rebuilt axle for my Rabbit once. Within a few months the outer 
joint's cage broke just as I was getting ready to go on a trip. I replaced 
it with a new one and took off & within a few days the inner went joint out 
as I was coming down out of Rocky Mountain National Park, I guess it tried 
to freeze up because the front end started bouncing so bad I almost lost 
control, then it settled down to the characteristic persistent knock. It was 
opening day of hunting season and every repair shop and parts store I 
stopped at - not that there are a lot of those in Western Colorado - was 
closed, overbooked, or couldn't get the part until the next week. I spent 
the night in a rest stop and the next day managed to limp into Salt Lake 
City where I finally was able to fix it. Never again, sez I. I'm sure there 
are many remanufacturers of varying quality and maybe I just got a bad one, 
but that's a corner I'm not cutting again.
