Does anyone have much experience with these? I had Bendix and am replacing them with Cardan.
If I understand what I'm seeing in the manual, the wheel turning angle for the Cardan is greater than the Bendix, so I don't need to reset the turn stops. Is that correct?
I haven't found info on lubrication yet, but I'm assuming I don't need to fill/pack the knuckle and cardan joint with grease. I'm thinking the cardan should be internally lubricated and sealed. So do I need to try to inject some grease in cups before I install the axles? If so, do I just remove one or more of the screws and temporarily install a grease nipple?
Thanks for any help.
Jim
