Inner CV joint quickie
« on: 08 June 2011, 17:37 »
Old is off and 2nd hand one is waiting to go on, but i noticed my old one doesnt have the internal circlip where as the new one does. Do you recon this was the source of the knocking, i.e if I put the circlip on my old one and packed with grease it would all be a-ok? I have 3 inner cv joints here and felt a mates the other night and all feel exactly the same with no obvious signs of brokenness.

Cheers lads  :smiley:

Yes deffo fit the circlip, it won't the cause of the knock but when the steering is on a lock and the suspension extended i.e in a tight bumpy corner it stops the cv joint over extending.

Dirty boy.

Re-pack with grease, fit circlip (why wouldn't you?!) and go again.  It'll be fine.

Oh, the circlip was going on no matter what, just wondered if the joint i took off would be ok to use again or because of it not having the circlip i would need to buy a new one  :smiley: :smiley:
