What do you think about paying $80 to get your CV's reconditioned? Could a novice aka noob do it in a garden shed/kitchen bench *insert pic of partner smashing my skull with a rolling pin*

Many `reconditioned' CVs are little more than a washout, new grease & boots, and new balls if needed. I think only 1 place in Sydney actually regrinds the ball tracks.
If they are clicking it just means the grease has dried out. Mine have now done about 160,000 miles, I `reconditioned' them 75,000 miles ago with boots & grease and they are still fine. :wink:


Doc...not that you need em...but I believe you can also fit bigger balls :oops: :D

Only if the tracks are ground out bigger, or are really shagged.. :lol: :shock:


errhhhh...maybe we should stop this line of thought before it gets out of hand :shock: :lol:

Brom...as the Dr said...it is a way of reconditioning badly worn CVs...when you have no viable alternative.

Put you car on full lock and slowly go around in circles (preferrably not on the Highway :!: :shock: )....listen for clicking....full opposite lock....slowly go around in circles...listen for clicking....if they are clicking ...they need overhaul.

My CVs do have a bit of slack, but they don't click or bind. Grease must still be OK..
If doing them yourself I'd keep the original balls, unless they are worn uneven or chipped. You can buy new ones at the local bearing shop in Imperial sizes. I think CVs use 9/16" ones. :wink:
