gpb9900 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Are the left and right cv axles identical, or are they side-specific? The inner boots on both my axles are torn. I missed this when I bought the car and I dare not simply install new boots; I don't know how long they've been torn, nor to what degree they've been contaminated. I've found replacements, but they indicate specific sides. Interestingly one site only lists a right side, while another side lists only a left side. This tells me they're not the same, but I'm just not sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Same either side. Front to back and Turbo to Non-turbo are the only differences. Good luck with the swapping! Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 All Subaru axles, except the Justy, are interchangable for left/right. I prefer the EMPI (new) axles - find a dealer of VW aftermarket parts and have them order them for you. I pay $65 per axle. Also - if it's only the inner's that are torn you can get replacement joints from Rockford and reboot the old axles. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
