1310 C.V. Vs 1310 OE replacement
Looking to replace my DSs and I'm having some issues understanding what the benefits or downfalls are of the C.V. vs OE replacement....

The OE replacement should have some spacers that allow a direct bolt-up to the stock flanges. The other one requires you to remove the flanges and replace with yokes.
The spacers on the oe replacements move the connection further away from the pinion/tcase output, which causes steeper angles and may be a source of vibes. I don't know if one would be stronger or weaker, but new yokes are considered to be the better way to go.
