jay- when they are at thier lowest point, im not sure if they are really binding, the boots makes alot of noice because they are streatched out, but they do turn fairly easy by hand at that angle. depending on the limit of my shocks i may be using some limiting straps so i dont dislocate something in the cv's if thats even possible? i chose the s-10 cvs due to the easy to mount 6 bolt flange, and the cheapness of replacements incase of failure. 40$ for rebuilt ones doesnt break my bank. at the convienence of replacments and easy mounting comes a price, they are heavy as hell!. well thanks for the welcome back guys. people will say what they will i guess, but im doing what i can with what i have
