Well, the term CV is too short to search for, so I started this.

Were the factory CV joints made by Lobro, and did they have a date stamp? I know VW Lobros have a date stamp, in the form mm/yy. My CV joints are 951.332.030.00, and say Lobro 23 91. I am guessing this particular joint is original. I will also guess all of the CV's will be original.



The lack of maintenance done on this car is astounding. I hate to say that the wife bought it from an independant Porsche shop, who "maintained" it from the day it arrived in America.



Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Pretty sure Lobro was the OEM supplier, I just ordered 4 yesterday, took both axles out and dropped the transmission this last weekend. Had 2 broken ball cages in the left axle self-inflicted.

I have two apart and cleaned. They look good for 20 years old. I'm just going to swap them around positionally.



Sorry about the broken cages. Do you track the car a lot? Our 968 has only been on the track 3 times, which is why the CV's still look pretty good. I beat CV's to death in my 911.

I recently took mine apart to clean and re-pack them. They looked brand new, and I've tracked the car fairly extensively. I didn't see any marking of any kind on them, so maybe they were replaced by a previous owner.
