 To repack the CV's or not..., That is the question. |

I have the axles out of the car because I was putting in new bushings in the trailing arms and (used) Pagid Orange pads. Should I R&R the CV's while I have them out of the car or leave well enough alone?

I repack mine whenever they are out as cheap insurance. Its cheaper than replacing them because they dried out.
just my $0.02 |

When were they last done?
If they were already done a month ago, leave them. If they were last cleaned and repacked 10 years and 100,000 mile ago, redo them. If you don't know when they were last redone, redo them. |

No idea when they were done... If ever. I'll order the kit and rebuild them. Any suggestions on what to use to get the old grease off?
Thanks. -Aaron |

If you don't know I say do it. It's messy but not that hard.
