Look at the Parts Manual in the documentation thread.
The 2004s fit differently to the later shafts if I recall. Fit new boots while you are at it, thatbrubber is getting old, buy the Mercedes numbered boots.
Thanks, yes, I already ordered new boots. The one boot was cracked and that CV joint seemed a bit cranky, hence the change, so now I(;m thinking this was the cause of my rear end noise but since I have a new differential, I might as well change that also. Thanks again for the info.
