[V8] Front CV questions.

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Hey Steve, thanks for the clarification on the inner joint....I've  
seen the outer's, but have never opened up the inner.  The outer is  
certainly the beefiest CV I've ever seen, and think they'll last  
"forever" if kept greased/boots intact.  Pearl car's booty had  
disintegrated years before I got the car, and was actually full of  
greasy sand.  Both Saab's I got for free because they thought the  
tranny was going(one was told the pinion bearing was on it's way  
out).....swapped the driver cups, and all that noise/vibration went  
away.....cheap "tranny" fix, which was why I posted it in the first  
place.  The 5-speed(155K) has an almost unnoticeable vibration under  
load which I'm guessing is the driveshaft, but thought I'd ask  
anyway, as most old saab mechanics know about the driver swap  
thing...Thanks...Tom
