Re: [tech] noise diagnosis

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Be prepared to buy joints (German) individually. Remove the axle. Remove the 
joints from the axle. Disassemble the joints (nevermind what everyone says 
about ball order its BS). Inspect the race surfaces for pitting or deep 
grooves and replace the bad ones. install the axle. This is the ONLY way to 
do the job right without having to go back and fuck with it again soon.
