Re: CV joints to cure those rear-end woes

Dan,
     Do cv joints support axial loads?  If I'm not mistaken, the 
Spitfire relies on the axle itself to maintain lateral location, which 
would pull apart a cv joint if it couldn't retain the axle.  It's a 
swing-axle, like early VWs, with just one u-joint at the inner end of 
the axle.  The deflection easily exceeds ten degrees (if driven 
properly 8^) ).
