    Oil/Grease in CV

    Ok bringing this back up, i should listen and pay more attention to what is being said in the first place and think a bit more logically. Ok so its not oil in the cv but in the bearings themselves, they take the grease out and put in car oil to make the wheel spin more freely Any thoughts
