Subject:CV Joint Question
From:van man

Hi,

Ok, I was servicing the CV's and managed to lose a
ball bearing.  Seeing that the casings had some scuffs
and wear, I decided to buy another joint.

The joint came in the mail today, and it seems REALLY
tight compared to the last 4 I have serviced.  I cant
even get the bearings out of the outer casing.  There
doesnt seem to be much play at all when when pushing
the inner casing, the entire assembly barely moves.

With my older joints, I could push in the middle and
the assembly would move in and out freely.. I had to
be careful not to push to far or the bearings would
fall out.

Ive made sure that the new joint is assembled
correctly..thats not a prob.

Is this tight new joint a concern, or are my older
ones just looser becuase of wear?

Any help would be appreciated.

jg
