Kicking noise from drive shaft

Some strange noise from drive shaft joint, both DOJ & DIG, obliged me to apply any countermeasure on VW 1302 Super Beetle. To tell the truth the strange noise was discerned at hill climb corner when relatively heavy duty was burdened on the drive train.

The correct way to restore the drive shaft joint is removing from the axle, wash away old grease and re-assemble, but I did shoddy construction, just applying new grease from the gap between drive shaft and boots inner portion sneakingly.

Inspection proved that no viscosity was felt by lateral rocking, once damaged joint may cause the same problem soon after a while, as an experiment the upper countermeasure was attempt.

Like a different vehicle, the movement of rear axle moves very light just slipping resistor was removed and strange kicking noise disappeared, it was successful, lucky!

Every joint drunk through more than 25cc of Chrome Molybdenum grease, obtaining grease viscosity when the drive shafts were laterally migrated, OK!
