Ok...so ready to dip in and re-hab the rear suspension. Part collection is almost complete except new shocks. So a couple of question for the group since I have never taken the CV's apart.

I have read all the other posts and watched the CV You Tube rebuild, and a couple of questions came up in my mind.

1. As of right now there is no "clunking" so I assume that they are not overly worn since they are NLA. Should I just "flip" them when I am done upon reassembly?

2. Do I just flip them end over on the same side of the car? The video didn't explain it very well. So I would assume just reassemble them as they are now and them flip them right?

3. If I see bad pitting or fracturing....should I just look for a used one now and hang on to it?

I have read about all the replacement options, must of them require some machining. I don't want to do this one again very soon so I want to make sure I do it right since the rest of the rear suspension will be getting re-habed.

Thanks all in Advance:

Rob
