Any info on CV's with grease zerks!!!! (video)

[sl1111]

Does anyone here know if these are DIY, or what it takes to build them?

Or, can I buy CV's already done and where?

Looks like a very cool idea. I wonder how it affects your current axle length, if at all?

On Jeff Quinn's Class 1 we added Zerk Fittings the CV Joint. When we stopped for gas or a tire change we would add a pump or three of grease into the CV Joint. Call Mckenzie's and see if they can help you out.

with all good also comes bad. The problem arises when something hits one of the zerks and knocks it off, the cv grease which is about 150 degrees hotter all comes out of the newly formed hole, dirt, mud, and water all take it's place. Needless to say you end up changing out a cv in the desert, ruining your high dollar custom driving suit and a chance for the win, and 10 min trying to put out the brush fire the grease started. I know, you are going to say it will almost never happen, but it does. Make sure they are protected, and you don't half ass the install with cheap parts.

make a flange with a counterbore so it cant be broken off...problem solved.

After greasing remove plug and then install an allen plug ! Problem solved again. But as it was stated earlier with good comes bad, now that you do not have to remove cv's to grease you will not be inspecting cv's as much either and when the star or cage fails you have just bought an axle along with a cv so what is your time worth ?

Flush mount zerks that take the needle fitting. Also, if your drive flange are thick enough, you could drill and tap holes in the and not need the plates.

Make the plate a little thicker and counter sink the zerk.
