As far as I know it doesn't matter.  In fact I have been told at 100,000
miles I should pull them off, cleand them, repack them, and turned them
around to distribute the wear.

Subject: Replacing CV joints

I'm replacing my CV joints with LOBRO ones.  Can anyone tell me please
whether the one groove or the three grooves face the END of the axle or the
inside of the axle . . I can't seem to find any indication.  Does it matter?
Are the three grooves there for no reason?

Thanks

Dave
