Subject:CV joints/Axle options
From:Chris S <szpejankowski@GMAIL.COM>

First of all, hello again after a long pause.  Now… onto interesting stuff.

I have a curious cank-cank-cank noise coming from right rear as I take right turns and weight shifts off the right axle. It’s gotten louder over time and It sounds like a bad CV joint, so I presume that’s it..

What are our CV joint/axle options these days?  I see 944 joints listed for greater articulation ( I have a Syncro), but 944 folks are running Vanagon axles/joints in their race cars.  I see very expensive 930 joints which, like any other off-road accessory, come with extensive list of benefits rivaling viagra.  Then I see roll-the-dice discount joints. 

My Syncro is mildly lifted with super Schwenk springs.

Thanks in advance,

Chris in Atlanta.
