I know what you mean, there's kind of some "sticky" spots if you will. I think that is quite normal. I would soak it, blast it out with compressed air, and then regrease it up and see how it feels with fresh grease. No need to throw it away, you never know if you will need it.

If you have a piece of cheese cloth, rub it around and see if it snags on anything. If so, some emery cloth will fix it up. Cheese cloth is better then your finger, CC doesn't bleedOriginally Posted by MSHardeman

Mine actually locks up in certain positions so there may still be some crud in the joint that I need to get out. I'll definitely keep it no matter what because the inner joint is completely fine so if it comes down to it I can at least use the parts of the inner joint to rebuild another joint if it ever comes to that. Heck, even rolling on a clacking CV would be fine as a last resort if anything catastrophic happened out in the hinterlands.
Cheese cloth is a great idea Rowhard, but with the joint completely assembled (and no way to take it apart) it would be tough to get the cheese cloth in there to check for rough spots. I may give it a try anyway.
