This kit includes 4 944 CV- joints and 4 Rockford boots, hardware, and grease.

GKN/Lobro is the original german manufacturer for VW joints. The Rockford cv boot is far superior in quality and longevity than the Lobro boot, which is far superior to the Chinese boots on the market.

The inner race of the joint has a beveled (chamfered) edge that faces inward. This CV joint usually comes with a concave washer, which is not used in this application. If you need some serrated washers, please click here:  Serrated CV Washers.

*Please note that the GKN/Lobro CV joints will not fit the Chinese axles on the market.*

Note: As stated in the Bentley factory service manual (page 42.8), your CV joints will need to be installed onto these axles with a press and a bit of anti-seize. New axles are machined to exacting tolerances and are a tight interference fit with the joint. Please be prepared for this step of the installation. Trying to pound them on will only lead to much frustration!

Please note: When we order the CV joints, they are ordered as a kit. As such, they come with the stock CV joint boot. In the past, we have removed the stock boot and replaced them with the Rockford boot. We will no longer practice this, and you will receive two sets of boots. Please compare the two different boots. You will be quite satisfied with the extra money that you spent. What to do with the stock boots? Either keep them as spares or give them to your less fortunate friend who does not have the Rockford boot on their van.
