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 |

Okay....update.
Yes for all that have not done these.....they are not only a pain to find, but a nasty dirty job. I ended up going with the type I replacements as I could not locate any good used ones. Mine were so scored and pitted I didn't want to do them again anytime soon. Couple of additional questions for the World though some may have run into. 1. The Type I's have a recess here shown where the boot mates up against the CV. The fit up isn't great. Should I RTV this side so the boot won't possibly sling grease? 2. Going without the paper gaskets as I have heard stories from others that they will loosen the bolts over time. Any suggestions on the RTV to use? I was thinking the most grease resistant and temperature resistant possible. Thanks all in advance.  |

Any suggestions on the RTV to use? 1) Our modified Type 1 CVs include an o-ring seal for that location. 2) Our modified Type 1 CVs have the exact same step cut as the oem CVs and we include new paper gaskets.They will not loosen up if installed and torqued correctly. No need for RTV if done the way we recommend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
