    i can count on one hand how many times ive seen the oem front seal leak. i have to take off my shoes to count how many ive seen leak after someone replaces it.

    replace wp, dont go ape**** with the rtv, rtv bolt threads, replace elbows.

    i just squirt new grease into my cv's with a needle fitting every oil change. over 60k and 3 winters with blown boots.

    no ****s given

    Sounds like I wont be replacing the front seal unless I know for sure it's leaking.

    I want to replace the CV, it's only $40 and it's making a mess with the grease flying everywhere. The previous owner said he repacked it 2 times, maybe that's why there's so much everywhere.
