Good question.  My first impression was that it would be bad, perhaps
beginning a flaking process or something, but I'm just guessing.  I forget
to mark which way my axles were facing when I R & R them, which would be
doing about the same thing, running them in the opposite direction.  I think
any CV that is showing wear should probably be replaced anyway.
