Hey Sam,
the Porsche CV joints are supposed to give a greater angle, but they
achieve that by using smaller size of "balls". So while inceasing the
angle, one might deduct, that the force per area is bigger that with
the standard CVs and thus they are not at all stronger. We have had
these discussions many times in ig16-forum and there is still no final
conclusion. We had people with rapidly breaking/wearing porsche CVs
and on the other hand we have dealers who offer these as high strength
replacements for the OEM ones... honestly: I don't know. There are at
least as many happy users as there are people who suspect having
problems due to these joints. Though the reports are so different, so
different engines, drivers, cars, ... I can't deduct anything reliable
from that :) Sorry,
Martin
