While taking things apart for my 5lug conversion, I was taking the stub axle off and found there was NO CV joint gasket between the stub axle and the CV joint. Is this normal or did I just forget to install one when I replaced the axle about 7 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Is there any way to determine what kind of shape the CV joints are in without actually taking all the bearings out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Thanks, Elliot |

This has been an on going debate and I would say it is your choice to use them or not!
Some say the bolts can loosen if you use them and my not if you don't! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
