| W463 - CV Joint Replacement
G'Day all.
My drivers side CV joint is starting to make some clicking noises and giving some warning that it wants to be replaced.
I am about to order 2 new CV joint kits to replace both side.
I am not planning on replacing the wheel bearings or anything else within the hubs unless it needs to be done when I pull the CV joints out.
Are there any must have seals or items that need to be replaced when changing the CV joints other than the CV joints them themselves and the nut lock washers.
Thanks in advance. |

Probably the best way to go.

Make sure you get the right bearings! One kind is better than the others.

Laser Tools out of UK has a kit with the specialty socket included for hub work on Gs.
Kit #4846:

The sockets are very well made. I am pleased with the quality.

For grease for the CV joints, GKN has small packets of moly fortified lithium grease for the CV joints.
If you want improved grease and better performance, look at TRC Paragon 3000 Moly or Swepco 101 Moly.
Wheel Bearing Grease is specifically Shell Gadus S3 v220 c2.
This is type specified specifically for the G-Class.
To own a G properly, you need at least 4 grease guns for the various grease applications on this vehicle! |
