For a Nissan...I would really be looking into getting Longfield 30 splines in instead of anything else.

I HOPE it's normal but they make a god awful raquet when turning, even say with hubs locked but xfer in 2wd, just slowly turning about half way between straight and lock on steering, and they click their heads off, sounds like the whole front end is about to fall out.

Can someone confirm this is normal? I don't have the power to break them and don't drive like an idiot and I AM prepared to accept they are noisey IF that is normal and it won't compromise their reliability... has anyone tried different grease or anything to see if it makes a difference???

There's gotta be something seriously wrong there surely, when a cv clicks it's knackered AFAIK
