What causes CV joints to go bad?

[Sylvain Laplante]

Hi,

	   I apologize if this reply goes to the wrong place, this is my first reply
to the mailing  list... :-)

	   I was a Honda mechanic a long time ago ( 80-82) and I did replace many
	driveshafts/constant-velocity joints, but it always turned out that the cause
	was either a broken boot that allowed water/salt to wipe the grease out, or
	drivers who constantly accelerate hard while turning in tight corners (
streets
	). This is probably also true for Nissan cars... Personally I don`t think
	lowering a car would make such a difference-not worst than having 2-3
	passengers ;-)

	  Of course, this only applies for the external ( outer ) joints
