Cv grease measurement

Postby RS EDDIE on Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:11 pm

Does anybody know how much grease the driveshaft joints take on a fiesta rs turbo??
Is there any reference guides to find this out??
Thanks, Edd.

If its new them a glob in the boot should be suficent but second hand as much. As you can get in there but use cv grease and pack the cv its self

If it's new they usually come with an appropriate amount in sachets in the box.

If it's 2nd hand then I lob as much as I can get in there after cleaning it out thoroughly.
Nothing to see here...

They aint new, but been totally emptied of all grease in the powdercoaters so they are now bare.

Ive got 4 x sachets that come with the cv boots so ill use them but was just wondering if more is as bad as less, in the case of driveshafts cvs?? Can one put too much grease in them???

Thanks for the replies so far tho. :D

Last ones I got came with two packets in each box, if that helps.

1 sachet per cv joint is sufficient, if you put too much in the pressure can force it out of the end of the boots and make a mess as it splatters over everything in sight!
