Subject:bad cv knocks going straight?
From:Spencer Allen
Date:Thu, 12 Aug 2004 22:08:59 EDT

This past weekend my 85 Westy developed a heavy knock at the r/r wheel. I
suspect a bad CV. The knock slows and speeds according to the bus speed. It
knocks when going straight I thought CVs knock only on turning. Turning actually
quiets it down. Can these things be saved? Can (or should) you add grease
through the boot from time to time? If it is bad is it cheaper and faster to replace
the half shaft? Thanks all.
