Subject:      CV joint question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

I was taking my CV joints apart for maintenace last night and found
that when I went to take the joints off the end of the axle -- after
removing the circlip -- 3 of the joints slid off the axle rather
easily. Just needed light pressure from my thumb. The fourth took the
usual vice and banging on the axle with a brass punch.


There hasn't been any sign of CV joint failure -- no clicking or
vibration. The surfaces look fine.


Do the joints sliding off so easily mean that the axles and/or joints
are shot -- too much slop? Or is this ok?


Thanks,


Will
