Clean and repack Your CV Joints with Lithium based Moly grease... Big W sell Castrol...
It will stop cvs from making a noise and if they aren't too worn.... they will last a long time...
This grease is Good....

Best not to wait for them to start making a noise....
Repack and they will last a long time....

PS.. Painting Your CVs Blue won't make them last any longer...😀 😀

:P:thumb good one
I repacked them about 6mths ago when they needed new boots for a rwc. They were pretty stuffed with flat spots on the balls and very loose.
OH NO the loud banging noise coming from my kombi was not the CV ??? Will post a question in the tech area with a full description of problem. Now I am worried🙁
