Swapping sides...
Hey all:
Was pulling the the front right (as you are sitting in it) CV axle from the
parts car and discovered the outer CV boot is cracking at full extension,
so I can't use that one on my 5KCSTQ. Nuts. The front right outer CV on
the good car is toast, and I was going to use the parts car RF axle as a
replacement.
However...the opposite side (left front) on the parts car is okay and
appears to have a new outer boot.
The dumb question is: can I swap sides on the front axles? Mr. Bentley
says the length is the same for man. trans. cars, but do the CV's acquire a
wear pattern or anything of the sort that will cause them to self destruct?
I know, probably the idiotic question of the day but I want to be sure.
TIA!!
