 |
|
Can I put Lobro CV joints on the shaft that comes with the new EMPI axleshafts?
If I can't where can I buy used or aftermarket Lobro compatible axleshafts.
Thanks! |

Yes, we installed a set of 944 joints on a buddies rig that had empi axles. This was a manual. His new empi joints lasted about 2000 miles. We were on a road trip when they failed, van cafe overnighted him some new 944 joints. I was concerned about the fit but it was fine and still going strong for him. I would have to presume that lobro would also work if the 944s did |

Some axles have a spline diameter that is just a skosh bigger than stock and the Lobro CVs can be a tight fit. The spline count is the same and the Lobro CVs will fit, but it's tight.
