We offer two Syncro drive axle rebuild bundles that are exactly the same, except one has European-made GKN CV joints and the other has Chinese EMPI brand CV joints. With both kits you get superiorDurogreen CV Boots and all-new hardware.
Building your own drive axles does not require any special tools, and it is actually kind of fun. But if you are not into getting dirty (it is quite a messy job!), or simply dont want to mess with it, you can purchase complete brand-new Manual or Automatic axle assemblies that are fully built and ready to install.
Fits: 1968-91 4WD Syncro Vanagon
Both bundles include: (36) CV bolts (36) Serrated lock washers (6)DuroGreen CV boots
Regular bundle also includes: (6) Chinese EMPI CV joints* with circlips and grease packs
Deluxe bundle also includes: (6) European GKN CV joints* with circlips and grease packs
*Important note: Front outer CV joints and boots are sold separately
Quality Notes
Like many parts that come from China, they are hard to beat for the money. However, they are by no means the best parts that money can buy. The EMPI brand CV joints themselves have been pretty darn bulletproof, but we have seen the axle shafts fail and have noticed the boots and grease are not the best, either. The best way to go is to build your own assemblies by reusing your existing, original German-made VW axle shafts, and a set of the best quality parts and materials available. That is what the deluxeaxle rebuilt kit offers: Everything you needexcept the axle itself, because you’re using your own for the rebuilding process.
