I have my axle's out for my wheel bearing change and noticed the driver's side outer CV a little bit stiffer than the others.My question is does this one need to be repacked or is it shot? I have never heard any sounds like the CV's failing at any time.

As well turn them around and have the direction of rotation opposite of what it was before. The balls will wear on more untouched metal. It'll buy you more time with them as long as there is no metal galling going on.
You can also get the same condition by installing the axles on the opposite side, but some will object with the argument that it stresses the axles in a manner that they are not "used to". I'd propose that in a normal low-hp car it won't matter. As long as you are informed... Good luck! |
