I have a rear axle shaft that split a cv joint boot and the grease has leaked out. I plan to buy a set of used axles from Jim Harris and send them out for new boots before I replace them. And I just would like to be assured that I am correct in reading that all the 1985 W123 models have what is known as the "annular joint" I don't think on can tell what type of cv joint is on the shaft until it is pulled? Fast Lane (Phil's) parts list is rather unclear on this and I think both joints use the same picture but the joints.(half shafts) are not interchangeable the way I read it. Can someone give me some clearer info on this?
