GOLD Star
after recently rebuilding the front steering knuckles, seals, bearings etc.
is all of that grease really needed? obviously the cv joint is packed with grease, but filling the knuckle 3/4s full, why? the outer knuckle housing swivels on the trunion bearings so grease isnt really needed in there the knuckle seals must just be for any grease that finds its way around there.
the filling port on top of the outer housing makes little sense to me. you have little idea of how much grease is allready in there if your topping up nor how much your putting in and when and why would it need topping up unless the grease is pissing out of the knuckle seals?
just thinking out loud really, any thoughts or answers?
