CV joint upgrades?

[VEEDUBBED 0]

Guys, After seeing the strange damage on the inner cv joint cups i'm wanting to uprate the inner cups, possibly one's off a 02M 'box.

Will these cups fit into a 02A 'box? Is there a way getting around the fact that the 02M cups bolt into the diff?

I've got a Peloquin installed that's 02A and i'd like to keep it.

What other kind of mods are involved?

Cheers.

The 02M diff shaft is bigger diameter than the O2A, so I don't think you can use O2M cups.

 

For what it's worth, I used bog standard GKN replacements from GSF / EuroCarParts on my VR6 Turbo years ago and they're still going strong.

 

But if you want mega strong, here are a couple of options:

 

Best and strongest shafts / CVs - http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import-axles/volkswagen

 

GKN do uprated shafts and joints too - http://www.gknservice.com/global/motorsport/cv_shafts_joints.html

Very useful info mate. FWIW, I run the OEM GKN CV's and drive shafts on my 20VT running fairly big power and torque and, touch wood, to date they have stood up fine.
