Ok...so ready to dip in and re-hab the rear suspension. Part collection is almost complete except new shocks. So a couple of question for the group since I have never taken the CV's apart.
I have read all the other posts and watched the CV You Tube rebuild, and a couple of questions came up in my mind. 1. As of right now there is no "clunking" so I assume that they are not overly worn since they are NLA. Should I just "flip" them when I am done upon reassembly? 2. Do I just flip them end over on the same side of the car? The video didn't explain it very well. So I would assume just reassemble them as they are now and them flip them right? 3. If I see bad pitting or fracturing....should I just look for a used one now and hang on to it? I have read about all the replacement options, must of them require some machining. I don't want to do this one again very soon so I want to make sure I do it right since the rest of the rear suspension will be getting re-habed. Thanks all in Advance: Rob |

I just disassembled them, cleaned all the old grease out, installed NEW boots and repacked with quality grease. If you want to flip them (I did as well), all you need to do is mark which end is the inner/outer on each side of the car. Rebuild each side of each half and install them with the old outer side as the new inner. That way they will rotate in the opposite direction.

Not saying you can`t but IMO they rotate on the same surface area just a different direction,,,anywho if you see pitting and fretting there done for and need replace,like you said do it right the first time,spend the money and buy new used is just that ..JMO good luck and use Molylub (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
