After installing brand-new CV joints I happened to notice that they looked like this after about a week of driving.
 They're rusty (the original 40-year-old CVs never rusted) but more importantly is the gasket is broken and coming out. New gaskets, torqued to specs. I've had the trans out of this car on about 3-4 different occasions, so I've removed/installed CVs at least that many times on this car without ever seeing this. Any idea what is happening and how I might fix and prevent it from happening again? Thanks, |

I'll add info to this:
1) Those are GNK/Loebro CV's Same that MFG that came with the car originally. Original housing seem to be oxide treated. 2) They are Type1 CV's "and"... they have the gasket groove machined into them. |
