Thema CV Joints
« on: 07 September, 2009, 08:05:18 PM »
Does anyone here know if the Thema's CV joints are the same as the Beta's?  (The shafts are probably a different length.)

They sure look the same, and I have a reliable source for new Beta joints.  ;D

Kindest regards,

Apparently the joints are the same apart from the ABS ridges on some Themas.

I've been told that Ford Sierra joints are the same, but this is unconfirmed.

It is still possible to buy outer CV joints from Germany at fairly good prices (~£50). Have a look at this website
