Just posting to say that I appreciate this thread. I'm planning on doing a total suspension rebuild on my car next year. Thanks for the pics and explanations.

"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."

Thank you for saying so. I assume that most people on here are more capable of this stuff than I am, and learned all this stuff when they were 16 from their dad or in shop class. I didn't, and have always been a bit envious of people who can repair or customize things. While this isn't the best step by step thread (your repair manual should be able to fill in the gaps) I thought I'd take some decent pictures and document here and there along the way for anyone else like me.
With that said, I need to dump some photos in here and ask some questions. I'll try to come back and label the photos later. My question is about the non-serviceable end of the CV joint. I have the inner joint pulled apart and cleaned, and my service manual warns about mixing different types of grease. So, do I just try my best to flush out the non-serviceable (outer) joint, repack it with the provided grease, and re-install? Stand by for photo dump.
