Hi,
Just wondering if anyone here has installed a CV from Milners recently
and if you had any problems?
I'm prepping someone's 80 at the moment for a trip to Tunisia in Feb
and rebuilt the knuckles last weekend.
We swapped out all the bearings, seals and CVs - it looks like they had
been done recently (the car has 130k miles on the clock), however the
previous fitter (a Dealer!!) had forgotten to put any grease in any of
the bearings or the CV - there was only about a handful of grease in
the bottom of the knuckle.
Anyway the CVs are either a fraction shorter than the factory ones or
the end plates are thicker because we ended up having to grind off
about 1mm from the end plates in order to get the circlip on to the end
of the CV.
All the bearings were properly seated and the only other issue I had
was with the new inner hub seals which are a different design from the
usual Milner/Toyota ones and were harder to seat.
Just wondering if anyone else had experienced similar issues?
