I did a search on '74 911 CV joints and came up with this thread, so I'm posting a question here for the experts rather than start a new thread. I have two half-shafts that came with a '74 915 transaxle basket case that are different in appearance. They are both the same overall length, and both have the 4-bolt plus 2-pin flanges:
However, the CV joint housing on one is visibly thicker than the other--about 1-1/4" versus 1-1/2" or so--on both ends:
I don't understand why they are different thicknesses--was one side replaced with a different assembly at some point, perhaps? I can see "Lobro" stamped in the thinner one, but can't find any similar marking on the other housing. Can anyone identify what I have here?
TIA,
TT
