>>Squeaking noise is coming from left front wheel of my Syncro after first
>>off
road trip last weekend.

First if it's just a lite noise, maybe it's only your break pads rubbing,
mine always do it backing up while turning on a quiet pavement lot. No big
deal.
If it gets louder (once hot) and as your turn deeper.... try this.

Every year before the big trip and as a regular seasonal Maintenance. I get
my Syncro up on her ramps. I get out my injection needle ($10 most flaps)
and put the needle on the end of my grease gun with a moly cartridge in the
gun. I give about 10 pumps to each CV boot. Think of the profile of your CV
boots as this shape MMn. The needle goes in the SIDEWALL of the smaller end
(n), Not the top or bottom folds. Very little will ever come out this
puncture, it's sort of self sealing. Once up to speed on the road, excess
grease will be slung by centrifugal force into the CV ball race, forcing out
older grease, which will sling out the ends of the boot. If very little
comes out, your joint was dry and you really needed the grease. Next year
when you go to do it again. The joints with very little sling out will need
10 more pumps, the ones with less sling out, maybe 8 pumps. You'll be able
to find the small needle holes if you look closely for a small grease spot,
and if you are careful, your needle will slide right back into the old
holes. I have 140,000km on my original boots and all 8 CV's are quiet. A
little sloppy/greasy around them, but wipeable and in good shape.

Hey I'm back.......Yeah I know where have I been, Off and on the list for
years, digesting, archive diving & drilling. So many spin off lists now.
Good to see some good heads are still about... Joel, Mark, Alistair etc...
