Volks,
Two weeks ago I installed a set of those $99 buy it now CV Joint set
from E-Bay. They seam it be of good quality, came with everything,
grease new socket head cap screws, boots and all. Now I have run into a
problem. The bolts keep working loose. I don't know what to torque
them to. Does anyone know? Tonight I plan on retightening for the
second time, but this time I was going the clean up the threads real
well and locktite the heck out of them. I didn't use locktite yet, was
I suppose to?
I also wonder if I should put back the old 12 point bolts, I kind of
like them being regular Allen hexs. Now that the joints have loosened
twice I have thrown out a lot of the new grease. I have seen a syringe
kit for relubing the joints, does anyone remember who offers that kit?
Thanks in advance as I always appreciate the knowledge and advice.
