Subject: Flipping Axles to Maximize CV Joint Wear

I've just spent the past hour digging through the archives. No joy.
(This is why changing the Subject is important when the subject
changes....)

A few years ago, someone (I think Dennis Haynes) wrote an excellent
explanation of how and why to flip one's halfshafts to maximize CV joint
wear. The explanation labelled the joints A, B & C, D. I've tried every
combination of CV, joint, axle A, B, C & D to find it and I'm drawing a
blank.

Did anyone bookmark it? If so, could you send the link along. (And maybe we
might add it to the Vanagonauts data?)

Thanks,

Jim
