CV joints....question about the older and newer...

Post by Czechsix »

So on the Swiss '63 I have, the front CV bellows are rotten and in dire need of replacement, along with the CV needing flushing, lube and assessing to see if it's worth keeping or needs replacing.

I see that the later models have a completely sealed metal housing, instead of the rubber bellows.

Can I upgrade to the later version? Will the lengths, widths, bearing and seal surfaces and splines match?

As far as I know, they are interchangeable. Haflingertechnik have a new version, but it is expensive.

Look on the Haflinger technik site and there are useful technical bulletins on this issue.
