Andy, I'd be interested to know if wheel bearing grease works too. I was just talking about this with a friend tonight. They sell CV joint grease in 4 oz tubes at Napa and Kragen, and it would take 4 tubes to do all 4 joints. Alternatively you could buy a 16 oz tub of moly based grease for less than 1/4 the price. But is it the same stuff??? Hmmm....
Possible thread hijack (this must be CV joint month) - I just pulled all mine apart and every single joint is trash, major pitting on either the inner or outer race and slop in the joint. Is the recommended action to buy new axles at this point or ??? Kragen lists Cardone axles for $74 ea, but I know Cap'n hates A1 Cardone... |

Get them back in quick - my dumb ass Corgi ate one (he has a thing for grease - once ate an entire jar of vasoline) and I ended up buying a new joint.

Sorry, they just don't fall out.
You pushed the housing to far back on the beam and exposed your balls. |

It had a Renault 4 banger with CV's. Never had a problem but it was a fairly low HP dedicated race car. |
