With the original Bridgestone ditchfinders, yes, with decent road tyres I wouldn't risk it ;)

A few people have bought cars with broken CVs, maybe from 4wd on dry tarmac, most of us wouldn't try it as we know what might happen :laugh:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

A few questions after reading the how to guide, if I'm going to take the plunge and.fix this king pin bearing

What sealant do I need for the king pin

How do you measure 100 ml of grease?

And how do you get the bearing out?( without a welder)

Cheers

I did it by weight.

Is it the king pin bearing race you are referring to - mine came out with a small bit of persuasion with a screwdriver.

I couldn't remember what I used. Don't know what others use but I tend to use silicone sealant.

Don't forget to fit a new shaft oil seal. ;)

In my case it was a day's job. :ohmy:
