Fred's Axlenet - CV Joints



All:

Looking for some first hand, preferably long term experience, with
Fred's Axlenet.  I have 222K miles on my '86 5KCSTQ and one of the
outer CVs is starting to click during a tight, slow turn.

The original CV joints were/are totally and completely overengineered.
They are awesome!  Ripped both boots last winter blasting through snow.
Didn't know I did it until both CVs were squealing from the lack of
grease and crud buildup.  Took e'em off, cleaned 'em up and they didn't
make a peep for 50K miles, but alas.

Sorry, had to praise the engineers!

Anyway, if somebody could share their experience I would greatly appreciate
it.

TIA,
