Rear cv joints and those friggin flanges on the transaxle
the rubber boots cracked on both sides of the axle half cv joints on boths gtv6's at watkins glen. of course one of those cars (the 2.8l) wont be needing cv joints because the tires at turn 11 picked a fight with the front and side of the car and the tires won. so long story short the joints spewed their black liquidy goop everywhere and now i am wondering do i order the remanufactured ones from iap or can i replace those rubber boots and regrease the things.... or should i just leave them alone. do i have to worry about them overheating now? has this happened to anyone else? it was so strange that they broke on both cars at the same event. i have recently had the transmissions out and i noticed that they have different sized flanges attached to the brake rotors.... what gives?

If you are talking about the CV boots, then they wear out, dry out, and crack, and is an item to replace. Try prevent the joint itself from coming apart as it can be tedious to get back together... If it does come apart (the balls fall out), then at least you get a good opportunity to inspect the balls for wear.

****UPDATE****
I have now found the invoice.
The details were as follows for anyone that needs them.
Part Number - CV430228-40 (not sure if this means anything)
Description - 28/108X40mm Porsche 911
So that is 28 splines and is 108mm in diameter and 40mm thick.
Hope this helps anyone out there. Also the model of 911 maybe 85 or 86 onwards.
