Hi,      Think there are Audifans in Germany that would support us with answers 
to questions Audi America just ignores?  Do you have an email address for them 
or Audi in Germany?
       I have been trying to get technical answers about the front outer CV joint on 
'92-93 V8s. Is it possible the CV unit from a Audi 100, same years, can be used 
at the outer end of our car's front axle?
      Since Audi Am only wanted rich guys to buy the entire three piece axle 
assembly, there was never a part number given to our outer CV joint.
      I have good advice that it is the same part for '92-'93, but has anyone 
actually used one from the 100? Audi is firm that my car is too old to worry 
about and it seems to have no Classic value to them worth supporting. The other 
German cars get their parts, but ours is an orphan like the Merkur.
     What would the partsman in Germany know about radseitige Gelenksatz 
22591/301957? Should I try interchanging the CV? Do call JD Powers about 
Audi's attitude towards their "flagship".  Bob
