CV wot ave I done?

Post by Ian and Lins »

Replaced CV's on L/H side a couple of weeks ago. Had to do it myself as no time to take it to a 'proper' man. Kept everything as clean as I could; still a right heavy pain lying outside (moan over). Anyway, ...the clucking is back! Probably done about 300 to 400 miles. Any ideas pepes? Comments regarding my qualifications in bodging are perfectly accepatble and believable but I think I did everything right; ho-hum.
Are we going on anything else?

Packed with about 100g of supplied with black grease in each joint. Old ones were knackered but replacements were new.Sorry about wrong forum but don't post very often so not too sure where to put it.
Cheers

Check to see if the bolts have come undone......... were there any "serrated" washers eith on the old bolts or with the new ones? these sould be used and clean all grease off them...
