    I agree, there are other things that could benefit more from some re-engineering.

    absolutely .. just analyzing what I'm destroying.. which is apparently nothing so far :) .. that's why the one pic of the shiney outer wear really "got me off" . . . personal thing I know.


    drive on

    So are CV joints replaced when they "clunk" or replaced when you see the metal pick up on the star???? .. or do you not take 'em apart to repack 'em when you do it for a living? ... just curious . .. I know I need a life.

    cheers

    On the off road cars the CV's take a beating. If they " clunk", we just replace them. They are cheap enough to not mess around with repairing. Your right on the torn boot part. If they run dry they will self destruct very fast.

    Looks like you've made a few appropriate changes.
