TW> It that ias a junction between the Flexible hose and a Metal pipe it TW> cannot be reapired. The whole piece needs to be replaced. It is farther down-stream from that flexable hose to metal pipe spot. This area is metal to metal, but the area that I see the glow is around the tube itself going into a metal housing that is sort of rectangular. That connects to another rectangular housing and the line continues to the from of the car near the radiator. TW> Yes some do use "C" clips. TW> TW> The inner joint can get really noisy before they really need replacing. TW> But don't delay too long. TW> I let the wife drive a car with a noisy outer joint until it broke. TW> Fortunatly is was while making a U Turn in the front of the house. I'm pretty sure mine uses the "C" clips. No noise yet, and only a bit of grease. Just a bit of vibration, but it has been like that for a few years. It was a "remanufactured" CV axle. Should have known better than to not buy new. My original was replaced around 88k miles and I now have almost 155k. Things I have learned. Buy parts made in the USA and don't buy remanufactored parts. The only exception being if you plan to sell the car soon. - Mark --- WWIVToss v.1.50* Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0) SEEN-BY: 3/0 633/267 640/954 712/0 313 550 620 848 953 @PATH: 261/1304 266/512 140/1 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
