Just an update about on my c.v. joint saga................................

After pulling back the big end of the boot of my suspect cv joint, I found that there was no grease in the cv joint. It was damp & smelled like gear oil - but no sign of any real lubricant. I guess it was origionally filled with gear oil?

I repacked it with cv joint grease using the method suggested by BobK & put everything back together.

So far, the noise has disappeared, at least for now I plan to grease up the remaining joints probably this weekend using this same method. Hopefully it will extend the life of my cv joints at least for a while.

Thanks for all the help!!
