    checking for cv damage

    Gday guys im about to do my swivel hubs and while I have it all apart I wanted to run my eyes over everything that goes back in so it doesnt go bang after 100ks.im doing this rebuild for the first time and qant to make sure all my bases are covered. My main concern was for the cv's so is there any tell tale signs I should keep an eye out for while its all apart?
    Cheers

    Slight chipping adjacent to the bearings in the outer cage is a give away. Also a CV that has got hot will expand and become right. If it is tight in its operation then it could be ready to go too.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
