just did this job... Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: What grease and where to buy for Inner Companion Sh, RS ![]() ![]() |
dont use CV grease for inners - different type of pressure and thus application.
there is some concern the passenger side inner gets exposed to exhaust manifold heat and the lube will be affected - i believe it, but more so on the n/a cars - the inner on my 86 notchback was virtually dry on the pass. side but my 87 SPG was fine...
Some say find Valvoline syn-something, but i couldnt find it. i bought Quaker state synthetic wh. brg grease, its purple and should do the job.
i wiped the flanges dry and shot brake cleaner in there to clean them further.
re CV's, my mechanic advised against cleaning the CV joint - just stuff the new CV grease down the middle hole as best you can (tamp it down and push it into the joint) and when you push the axle in, it will circulate it into the bearings.
If you do clean the CV using say varsol, you will have to take it apart, wipe and dry it completely.
with the shafts out there are tons of things you can do at the same time, as you prolly know. new boots, brake work, ball joints, tie rod ends, shock bushings, bla bla bla
have fun,
Wayne in Calgary
