Am about to embark on a lovely overhaul with the front suspension.

Now I can buy some new CV joints but they aren't OEM from what I can tell and OEM at £300 a pop doesn't seem too appealing unless I need it.

Am I better off taking the existing ones off, and inspecting them, and if all is good ie no damage to the internals, regrease and reseal and away we go? Its actually a sport

Not anymore, 4.4 TDV8 now

I have found that a thorough degreasing of a CV joint followed by a new gaiter and fresh molybdenum disulfide CV grease works fine.
Unless it is already 'clunking', in which case it's bu**ered  Forty years of progress. 1972-2012

Am taking it apart so I'll give it a look and make a call thanks Its actually a sport
