Hi Billy, another thing you might want to to consider, is putting the cage and balls back on the bearpaw in the same orientation that you took them off. They develop wear patterns when they are new and changing thepattern results in accelerated wear. Its not a huge deal, but if you can keep the pieces in the same order it is definitely worth the small extra effort.

For those of you that have lifted front suspensions and are going through alot of CV boots, instead of using the supplied band to tighten the small end of the boot, try using a good quality wire tie. If you tighten it up enough to keep the internal workings clean and dry, but still leave it loose enough that it can slide, your CV boots will last ALOT longer. I guess its too little too late for you, but perhaps someone will be able to use it.
