Default I double-stuffed my CV joints

with greasy goodness- approx. 140 grams each, not quite 2 packages (misread directions). What will happen? Is my rear end going to explode? I am rather loathe to pull that axle out and redo it, but if needs be, I will.

I did the same thing, I put a pack and a half on each end. I wander if over filling will cause some sort of vibration at HWY speeds? Or would the excess just bleed out from the vent hole?

You will be fine, don't over think it.

Jeez, either option sounds horrible. A "leaky rear end" or "exploding rear end".
