So, what's everyone's experience with CV joint gaskets?
How have these two gasket materials performed for us? |

I know a number of people (some pro mechanics) who don't use any gaskets on the CV joints.
I use the stock cardboard-ish ones. Nylock nuts might work to keep the bolts tight. Safety wire definitely works, and provides a good visual cue that they are torqued. Someone on the board I think still sells bolts drilled for safety wire. I have heard of people using slightly longer bolts and think jam nuts on the back side of the flange. You have to be able to get a wrench onto the jam nut, of course. And you probably need to get the back of the flange spot-faced in that area so the jam nut sits flat. The stock setup, when used correctly, seems to work pretty well for many of us. --DD |
