CV joint

 

I have a small car set up¡­ ¡®85 Vanagon camper¡­ 2.5L Subaru¡­ manual and I am replacing the CV joints. The ECU pickup on the CV joint is a clocking plate and I just noticed that there is not very much threads availabile for the transaxle side¡­ less than 1/4¡± per bolt. I had been using the stock 2 hole torque washers in addition. Are these washers necessary when using the ECU clocking plate¡­ should I use longer bolts? Are they special bolts¡ªgrade8?
Thanks for any help,
Rod
 

Hi Rod, I recently replaced my CV joints on my 88 Westy w/auto trans. The van was converted two owners ago and also has the Small Call clocking plate. The two hole torque washers had been left off so I also left them off, the clocking plate seams thick enough to make up for the torque washers. I did use new serrated washers. The old CV joint had about 100K miles on them with no problems.
