Hi Bob,
I also have a Part No. for a VW boot which I use
for "brake-cable-dust-excluders".
It is part No. 311 713 269 A from a AUDI&VW dealer.
You need 2 per wheel (8 per car), and you should make
a nicely wedged mandrel to guide them over the end-fork.
By separate mail I sent you (or others interested)
a info-jpeg. about that part.

>>Hi,
>>I stripped the diff apart to check for excess rotation of the prop shaft.
>>Diff seems fine, 5.375 ratio, extra rotation appears to be due to very

>>Any other suggestions?
