[T2] T2 '70 CV Joints - noise ? & replacement ... need help...

[Jim Denton]

I have no qualms about reusing an OEM cv, even one with high miles if the
wear isn't excessive. Properly greased it may still have more life left in
it than a new replacement axle assembly.

You may or may not get a good cv's when you buy an axle assembly.
