CV joints

[Danny_vtr]

IM haveing problems with my CV joints, the rubber bit with all the grease in keeps coming loose and letting all the grease out, i dont know why this is happenening, i got the pins replaced that hold them on and profesnally done because they had fallen out and had to have another mot because the police didnt like the problem lol. so any ideas on wot it could be, also how would i get those rubber things off would i have to take the whole cv joint off or do they come off some other way? cheers ppl.

i had this problem

couldnt get the bloody thing to stay on so i opted for the expensive route and bought a new driveshaft ]

if you have a VTR they are fairly cheap i have a VTS so abs etc ... more expensive

u can get stuff called vulcanisign rubber solution i fink when u got it in place under the car and it s screwd down run sum of this round the edge of the seal it shrinks the rubber and it will seal it and hopefully stop it cumming lose so easy! smileys/smiley20.gif its what u use to stick puncture repair patches on with it worth a try for 3 quid before you splash out for a new shaft

not 2 sure wot u mean by 'pins'? the thing that normally holds the cv gater in place is a stainless band! you can buy universal gater kits and the bands come in kit,some kits even have grease.you shouldnt need to replace gater unless it is split!!if u pack more grease in2 cv joint,clean hub and the inside lip of gater,note that there is a ridge on inside of gater and that sits in the groove on the hub,get your stainless band,put it in place and tighten it.
