Don't know what my front axle is of, I think its of a 300 tdi, anyhow, my cv is goosed, its making a crunching noise on cornering. So, options? Are there different types of CV joint? Splines I know about, I can count the splines on the drive flange without stripping down the swivel housing , right?.
CV joint in unknown axle?

Wheel could use a rub down and paint job as well. Lotta surface rust on there, and turning to pitting in a few areas.
. It's been like that for the best part of a year now, I reckon its gonna need fixing soon.Blimey,

Or you could do them piecemeal, starting with the one that will be off while you do the CV job, and using the spare to rotate the others.
It isn't actually a bad job, takes about an hour to rub down, about same each for a primer coat and maybe a bit less for topcoat.
I would post some pics if photobucket were still playing ball!

Sand blasting is even better than rub down!
And much less effort. It does make a better job of it, and improved appearance of yer motor improves the positive mindset of the tester when you take it in for MOT.
