CGT rant continued

[DGraber460@aol.com]

I now have another passenger side axle shaft for the 85 CGT from NAPA that is 
too _long_. First one was too long, second (way) too short, third too short 
(popped the keeper "C" clip on the road), and now- fourth too long. They 
obviously don't have the right numbers in their books to deal with this car. 
Problem is they have had my original as a core for over 2 weeks (read-long 
gone).
When buying the brake discs from the same vendor, they initially provided 
rotors that were too small. I took in the original rotors and we physically 
matched them up to rotors listed for a 4000 Q.  Could this have been a sign 
of a "unique only to you" car situation. My wife's Scirroco did that a few 
years back. It's CV joints disagreed with all the parts books in town. I am 
certain this car is original, and has not been modified. I'm the second 
owner. 
Anyone have any experience with 4000-CGT parts crossovers (esp. on 
suspension/driveline)? 
Any help would be appreciated.  TIA
