Reply to "Chesil Speedster - my planned winter overhaul of '98 build"

Years ago I drove a Vanagon Westy daily. One winter the CV joints started making noise. I put the van on ramps and slid under to investigate. The grease had hardened and migrated away from the balls in the joint.

Simply grabbing the axle and sliding it from wheel end to transmission end a few times spread the grease around.

Cost: ZERO and silent running restored. That poor 90hp Wasserboxer worked hard pushing that 3600 pound vehicle. It needs all the help it can get!

Probably a good practice to do this every year when you grease the front end and change the oil, guys.
