[Vwdiesel] Spalling on Outer CV Joint

[H.Hagar]

Because I have the drivelines out, and am renewing them, I am
motivated to ask what the experienced folks do.  Should I reuse that
joint with spalling on 3 out of the 6 groves which is otherwise free
of play and works smoothly?  Or should I replace it?

I have worked on a hell of a lot of different designs ----- this VW  masterpiece
beats them all. (  that was the experience )

KEEP on using .    It sounds to me that you do not have "Spalling" in the normal
sense of bearings.  It sound like chrome flaking off .  If the balls are ok keep using.

Take a close look at the chrome ---- is it chromed ?
