They are remnants from a time long past. Proceed.

Yes, you can safely ignore it and proceed.

this shows what I believe I am looking at. It was so destroyed when I took the axle off I could not identify what it was.
If folks are not in the habit of adding any such part when they re-grease and re-install CV's then I am not concerned to go without it..? |

There have been a variety of parts added to CV's over the years and then discontinued. I suspect your gasket it one of them. |

No, it was on the wheel side of the axle between the face of the CV joint and the Axle Shaft. I did see a picture of it in the Bentley, in section 42.7 |

|
|
I was replacing the CV axles on my 2wd. Vanagon. When I took one axle off I found a thin film of an old gasket pasted to the mounting surface of the axle shaft. Does anyone have info. regarding this part? It seems pretty thin. And I have not seen it referred to in any posts or in parts kits. |
