hmm.. "hub" gets spotted? do you mena the swivel ball? go to 100% grease in the swivel balls and do the seal kit and it will help prevent leaking. i would n't change the ball unless it would really getting bad. | ||

If it is leaking then there is still grease in so CV joint should be fine in theory. I think they mean pitted which can happen, but happens more often due to corrosion, due to water in with the oil or grease. Turn your wheels hard and have a look for yourself. You can do the job in the driveway, its just a slow process, besides all your bearings will be freshly packed and you can check brake pads, clean ABS sensor if post 90 and a whole assortment of things. Definitley go with the grease, it is a one time deal. Also if they leak they definitely have to be replaced. Good luck. | ||
