OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

CV Joint Grease, 3oz Packet, EACH
CV Joint Grease, 3oz Packet
Price: $4.95

CV Joint Grease, 3oz Packet, EACH is specifically made for CV Joints. CV Grease has Molybdenum Disulfide in it, and it "flows" a certain way at the temperatures that CV Joints operate at, and this keeps the wear areas properly protected. The "Drop Point" of CV Grease is around 380F, which is too low for wheel bearings, but this low temperature allows it to flow well inside the CV Joint!

You want to put a lot of grease in the CV Joint and CV Boot. Not so much that the CV Boot bulges, because if you overfill it will eventually expand and leak. But you do want a lot of grease on the boot side of the joint, which prevents the grease inside of the joint from pushing out as the joint flexes. One boot will typically need between 3 to 4 oz.

IMPORTANT: CV Grease is heavy in metals, IE: Lead, Molybdenum, graphite, etc. You absolutely should ALWAYS wear gloves, and don't let the grease contact your skin!

Price: $49.95

CV Joint Bolt, 8 x 1.25 x 45mm, LOCKING, Type 1, 2, and 3, 8mm 12pt Head, Set of 12 (Does one axle), 8320 is an incredible product to prevent CV Bolt loosening, which is a common and messy problem! Instead of thread locker, have a true locking fastener! 12pt head is small and gives you a lot of room for the socket, and there is a large flange beneath the head to spread the clamping load. Once the bolts are tight, you simply slip on the locking tab into a location to prevent the bolt from any loosening, then secure it with the included snap ring (small tipped snap ring pliars will be needed).

There is no longer any chance of the bolt loosening or coming off, which can be a major hassle on the road or out on the dunes! This is also a fantastic product for off road cars, where the constant pounding knocks CV Joint Bolts loose regularly!

We sell these in packs of 12 units, which will do 2 CV Joints (One Axle Shaft, both ends). You'll need 2 of these to do one car.
