rear cv joints

[lloydy]

During the recent works on the van, i had two rear cv joints replaced because they had some play in them. Would these be good to keep as spare's, to get me out of trouble? Or is it a big no no?

Keep as a spare just in case. Clean them up and regrease them

[lloydy]

cheers! is it best to store them greased? or just clean up and clingfilm them?

[..lee..]

keep em lloyd. 16" joints the 14" boys dont keep on board so its up to us. other stuff we can share out if we break something but not the joints.

[lloydy]

Good thinking
will clean em up, grease and wrap

I have still got all the cv joints taken off the frount of my van (all four) at least one is completely mullered and maybe all four but they are free for the taking if anyone wants them..

[guzzi]

i forgot, do you want the boots too? filthy but largly sound as far as i can see?

[lloydy]

No thanks, got a whole set of new spares. Forgot I'm away for the weekend from Friday, but if your coming that day, the wife will be about. Out of interest was it an inner or outer that was definitely knackered?
Many thanks, Lloyd

no idea, somthing was clicking on full lock so with the reputaion thay have i just got the whole lot replaced..

Take the boots cuz if they are genuine VW ones they should still have lots of life in them. Many's the new boot that has failed before an old genuine VW one!!
