A thank you goes out to Mike Blizzard for supplying me with 2 axles this past weekend. I have taken them apart and cleaned the 40 year old grease out of them. I have watched Van Svensen's video on youtube and he showed 1 ?spider? with the same problem. He just turned his around. The outer portion of these CVs shows some wear.
I would have thought the outer would have more wear. But maybe the wear comes from poor lubrication? I still have the 2nd axle's joints to clean up, but that will have to wait 'til Tuesday. The cage shows only a slight bit of shine where the balls sit. All the other goodies are cleaned and show not wear. Missing 2 schorr washers, so somone had been in here before me. My limited knowledge of this tells me that both of these joints are bad and to call Eric and get me some new CV joints. I can't imagine that there are any good used joints left, or parts for that matter. Anyone agree.... disagree? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |

The inner race in the photo looks bad.....mine werent that bad and were making a lot of noise. I'd use those for wrist rocket ammo.
I would call up Chris Foley and get new ones since you are in there. |

Eric explains the R&D and successes behind his choice of brand, which is great to hear and he suggests NOT using the paper gasket. Requires that you not use it, actually. Chris has already machined 2 holes to take the pin, has an o-ring for the boot cup & still requires the paper gasket. Not sure if they are the same brand. Oh yea, Chris pays the freight. I think either would be good from both of these reputable vendors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Someone with a favorite please chime in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I used type 1 CV's which don't use the paper gaskets. I have probably 2,000 miles on them with no problems....all new hardware. I bought them from a member here whom got them from PMB. Both vendor's are good....that is your choice. The reason you don't use the paper gaskets with the Type 1's is because there is no recess in the CV for them and your bolts will back out. Tangerine machines the recess in the CV for you and drills the hole for the roll pins. |
