paper vs. metal and rubber...

[Eddy Lee]

The anti vehicle paper device killed metal (control arm) and rubber (CV axle). Already replaced control arm. Need to repair CV axle.

What kind of grease should I use? High temperature grease?

https://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/quick-boot-cv/p/rein-cv-quick-boot-bkb0072r/694989_0_0

PS: I think the tow truck driver broke the CV joint, but it\'s not really his fault. I gave me $20 tip anyway.

OK, still looking around. The boot on autozone is not available at store. So, probably buy on-line anyway. Some come with grease and some don\'t.

OK, O\'Reilly might be possible. With my auto 50 miles away, any auto store other than the nearby autozone is just inconvenience.

Off-topic auto responder.

Did you post any interesting electronics, or anything interesting at all?

My steeling development is not off-topic. I am working on electronics steeling limiter base on speed. First, I have to fix the hardware.

The anti vehicle paper device killed metal (control arm) and rubber (CV axle). Already replaced control arm. Need to repair CV axle.

What kind of grease should I use? High temperature grease?

PS: I think the tow truck driver broke the CV joint, but it\'s not really his fault. I gave me $20 tip anyway.

Maybe you should get a nice boring reliable gas-powered car; the
Hondas are good. You\'d have more time to design electronics.

Designing good suspension is just as fun as electronics.

We are going to add two aluminum u-channels to the control arm. The arm was bended and broken around 1\" beyond the hole toward the ball join. We need the protective channel to reach the ball join as close as possible.

Just need to bend and form the channels to match the control arm. Perhaps doubling the strength without adding too much weight.

Why did the control arm get bent? I don\'t know what an \"anti-vehicle paper\" device is.
