CV joint - potential problem

[radek at istar.ca]

Yes, I dismantled the joint, cleaned all the old grease and  
re-greased.  My concern is that I didn't put the cv joint back the  
same way as it was before.  No vibration or noises though, after 30  
kms of driving.

> Guess I'll chime in here.. On my fourth type 44, not to mention the 44's
owned by three of my kids at various times. With that being said, I've
replaced numerous outer cv boots and several of the cv's (replaced with used
units). After a through cleaning and putting new grease in the outer cv's I
found that they do tend to be a little difficult to move until the grease
works into all the balls and grooves!

So, was this binding after the flush and re-grease? If so, I wouldn't worry
too much, unless you're getting vibrations and or noise!
