Don't forget to machine them out to accept larger balls. Also the boots
will be universal $2 cheapies that will not last.

Subject: Reman. Half Shaft---an Oxymoron???

Greetings from Atlanta, Ga.  A "remanufactured " half
shaft....Hmmmmm....
Let's see... take a pair of worn out cv joints, take them and clean
them.
Add new grease, $10.00 worth of new boots and bolts, pop them back on a
half
shaft and sell them as remanufactured!  What a deal!  And, to sweeten
the
pot, give them a lifetime warranty.  That way when the grease gives way
to
knocking and clanking, I can crawl back under the car, remove them, take
them back, and get another pair to try out--For FREE!!

Seems to me the sane way to go is buy new ones from Busdepot or Vanagain
for
$60.00 each and do it right---the first time!

Regards,

Michael Nichols
