Let me state this in big words My suspicion is strapped to 22* And I have very little or zero back angle on my axles. Plus I have always had them clocked.

Just bring the parts and the ice cream maker.  We will help reassemble while eating a frosty bowl.  Those stars were not far from KABOOM!

Funny thing about the RCV warranty.  They called to affirm that I had the flange plates that the boot I ordered fit on. After I told him I did, I ask if he had received my email about where is the warranty was shown on their webb site.  Well he said I don't really know.  Said he thought it had been taken down for some rewording and rework.  Said he would look into it.   bs1 Anyone every try to claim on a cv warranty from them?

I does work well, but is a serious PITA. I hate working with it. The only real advantage to it is it's high temp performance.

Have also had good luck with the CAT gold in the front of 4WD pre-runners.

The NEO CV grease also holds up well and is about a million times easier to clean up than the Bel-ray/Swepco mix.

Have also heard really good things about this stuff, but have yet to use it Myself due to cost. Maybe when somebody else is paying for it I will give it a go LOL....

Neither are 4 new cv's.  kick

But thats 5lbs of grease, more than you would ever need for the car.  But I tend to use the good stuff for everything, since I already have some.

This just all comes back down to the fact that plunging cv's are really being pushed beyond their limits. If we really need(we do,unfortunately)grease capable of lubing at 500-600 degreesF and full of moly at 5-20% we are just kidding ourselves about longevity of cv's.  What is needed is a move towards non plunging cv's like some of us have done.  They are available from RCV  for 930 size. What is needed now is the 934 size from them. The running temp of a non plunge compared to a plunging cv is dramatically  higher. That is the problem. It is not the components fault we are pushing them past their limits of remaining lubed.
