dorman cv joint

Just got off the phone with Dorman about adding grease when installing the prop shaft cv, and they said no.That they were greased at the factory. What do you guys think, And if so what kind of grease did you use?

I'm sure if you cut one open you'd find it full of grease :wink:. I can't see them putting in less grease than is required

Cv joints require special moly based grease. It's available at any parts store.

I think he's referring to the front drive shaft CV vs front axle CV's. I bought one for my Alpha last year and it came completely bone dry with no CV Grease in the box. Just the CV......

You have to tear open the old CV or in my case reach inside, release the clip holding the driveshaft to the CV, and then after you've greased your replacement slide it into place until it clicks and is once again locked into place by the internal clip.

I searched and searched for answers about the grease and finally just threw in some Lucas Red & Tacky II grease. Just about 10K on it now with zero issues.

Yes thats what im talking about, My new prop shaft CV does not have much grease in it about a tea spoon full. nothing like the oem had in it.
