It is often used in the aerospace and automotive industries where exposure to high temperatures, fuel, oil, and other chemicals is common. It is tough and durable, with great abrasion and tear resistance. It is famous for its fluid resistance and ability to withstand exposure to aggressive fuels, oils, acids, gases, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals.

It is known for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and fluid resistance, making it the ideal material for harsh environments. It is often used in the aerospace and automotive industries where exposure to high temperatures, fuel, oil, and other chemicals is common. It is tough and durable, with great abrasion and tear resistance. It is famous for its fluid resistance and ability to withstand exposure to aggressive fuels, oils, acids, gases, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals.

Do you ever wonder why OEM parts seem to last many years, but often the replacement parts break down in a matter of months? It’s because manufacturers had to support every part of their vehicles for at least ten years or suffer the consequences of customer dissatisfaction and ultimately loss of sales. The devil is in the details when it comes to the stuff of which parts are made. Just because it looks the same doesn’t mean it is the same! You can have two identical-looking parts in your hand and one of them might be complete junk.

To achieve high articulation and far greater strength, the joints will not be as quiet as your original CV joints. So, please note that they can make some clicking and rattling sounds reminiscent of a bad standard-size joint that is about to fail. The 930s may click at full wheel droop when CV angle is greatest, especially when the CV joints are brand new and tight. The difference is that the noise is normal and it is not indicative of a joint about to fail! If you experience any unnerving noises upon installation (especially in conjunction with new coil springs) and are certain that you have assembled the axles correctly, do not panic, put some miles on them and they will quiet down once everything settles in.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003eWe do not include grease with this kit.

We highly recommend that the rear hubs be removed entirely—cleaned, inspected, and re-lubricated, since removal of the old stub axle and installation of the new one will likely introduce dirt into an otherwise sealed bearing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e• The fit between the inner splines of the new CV joint and out splines of the axle are not as tight as the original (smaller) CV joints and axles.

It is a form of super-duper NBR that outperforms regular NBR as far as operating temperature range, resistance to chemical and atmospheric exposure, and, most importantly, strength. The only downside of HNBR is that it is way more expensive. For parts that are labor-intensive to replace, like CV boots: It is way more cost effective because it lasts so much longer. Buyer beware: You can’t tell if a “rubber” part is HNBR or if it is regular NBR (or even natural rubber, for that matter) by holding it in your hand—which makes it hard to know if the item is made of the ”good stuff” or not.

Because of this, we were forced to put on our engineering hats and design a replacement part which we sell on this page. We used our expertise in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics to ensure that our thermostat housing unit works perfectly and won't introduce any \"mysterious\" problems that might occur if strict attention to detail were not applied. The process was definitely trickier than one might expect. The original thermostat housing was made of injection-molded plastic (on 4WD Vanagons, it was crafted of cast aluminum). Because we used an entirely different manufacturing process, we had to make design decisions based on how coolant flows and behaves at varying temperatures. The most important improvement we made was eliminating two specialty VW hoses with connecting ends of varying diameters (025-121-058E and 025-121-058B). Our removable fore\/aft nipples eliminate the need for these specialty formed hoses, replacing them with consistent-diameter hose (included).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFast forward a couple of years and the OEM plastic part \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003ean aftermarket cast aluminum part are now also available. We are offering all three varieties to satisfy the needs of the market, with the plastic part being the least durable and least smart.

We developed this device after experiencing temp gauge anomalies on some in-house installations. Theoretically, any temp gauge in a water-cooled Vanagon should read the same with any of the three types of senders VW used. In practice, we've occasionally found slight differences in coolant temp gauge readings after installing our thermostat housing kit. This is due not only to a difference in the included sensor, but also a lower electrical resistance in the whole circuit due to a nice, new all-metal thermostat housing (and the subsequent elimination of the old, corroded wire).
