CV Joint and Axle/Half Shaft Compatibility

The better option would be find 2 good used sealed half shafts that go all the way to the stub axel from the 85 to 89 and install them complete. Remember you need the nut and washer for the outboard to match the half shaft stub axel

Resurrecting Tom's thread as I started another similar thread tonight before seeing this one.
So, if I buy '85-'89 axles, is it a bolt-on solution to install a LSD from '86 915 (Euro) into my US '75 915 tranny? When I changed wheel bearings, it was a b*tch to break those nuts loose.

Which way should the beveled washer face on the Axle side of the joint?

How many bevel washers are there on Each Axle - 1 or 2?

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,

HI all im Danny im ne to this forum and I have a question. I have been calling this part the boot flange. The part that the boot gets strapped to. What is its actual name and what part number would it be. It is for a 930 CV joint 108mm I bought this kit thinking it came with it but it did not 00004330108. It just cam with the boots straps grease snap rings and end caps. No flanges to mount the boots. Mine are in rough shape---danfigg
