I did a search and could not find even one article on or related to CVUs?? Strange?!
Making a long story short… I’m replacing my CVU boots and was looking for some information on cleaning them and repacking them. A while back, I asked a mechanic about doing this and he said that you don’t repack them; you just replace them when they go bad.
I guess according to his theory, I should just leave the torn boot on and let it spit grease all over the bottom of my car until the joint seizes and I have to pay (god knows how much$) to replace the whole shaft.
Not the most intelligent plan in my opinion!
But… my GREAT book gives me no info in this area. I don’t want to pack in too much grease, or not enough.
Do I need special grease? I would like to use synthetic.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Duane
