[V8] Outer CV answer... again.

[KeithT1967 at aol.com]

I know I answered this question, in detail, last week.
 
 YES, YES, YES.  ANY FRONT OUTER CV JOINT FROM A TYPE 44 OR C4  CHASSIS 
100/200/V8/A6/S4/S6 THAT USES A BOLT WILL INTERCHANGE.
 
 EXCEPTION.... SOME 1989 MODELS HAVE A HYBRID JOINT THAT STILL USE THE  OLD 
SNAP RING STYLE OF ATTACHMENT TO THE AXLE AND WILL NOT WORK.

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
