EMPI joints fit the stock shafts fine. Did some 2 weeks ago. Pulled 2 off a new EMPI axle to replace old dead Lobro stockers, 1 on each old axle. The other joint on each stock axle was fine, being EMPIs put there a couple years back.
A couple months ago a Syncro friend came by to pick up a bare old stock axle shaft. He had the diff locker turned on and punched the pedal to make it up a rough path to a hang gliding spot, 1.9TD motor. Snapped the EMPI axle shaft, joints were fine. Put the years old EMPI joints on the old stock shaft. Not the first time I have heard or seen this. Stock axle shafts are stronger and a better choice for locker Syncros.

Burley Motorsports has higher grade new bare axle shafts for those that want to use the cv's of their choice , we also have complete 944 axle assemblies that are much higher grade than an Empi unit at a friendly price.
