Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings In the process of doing my front CV boots and needed to disassemble my inner joints in order to get the new boots on. I've found a thread on the 964 forum that documents the orientation of the 3 joint sections (outer race, cage, and inner race) as well as this pictures from Pelican's site that shows the genuine Porsche part. However, I just opened up my passenger side inner boot and the joint is not assembled the same way. The side of the inner race with the shoulder is facing outwards (toward the wheel) and the side of the cage with the bevel is facing inwards (away from the wheel). I'm not sure exactly what to make of it. Anyone have any pictures of theirs or words of wisdom to share? Cheers Charlie

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For anyone that digs this thread up in the future with the same question. I've confirmed the raised shoulder on the inner race should go towards the axle side. The genuine part picture I referenced earlier is a revised design that doesn't have a shoulder on either side. In either case, one side has slightly recessed splines at the end - that is the side that goes on the axle first. As for the inner cage bevel orientation - it seems that they come either way directly from the manufacturer. Maybe the orientation doesn't matter unless it's an extreme application like an off road or ATV type vehicle. I'd recommend noting it's orientation before you disassemble and putting it back the way that you found it. I've made a video documenting how to reassemble properly and will post it in a followup summary thread that outlines my learnings from this project.
