I don't know which CV-Joints your car has because there are a lot of cars
that they could have been taken from, but typically, one side of the CV
Joint has a rubber "gaiter" attached to it. The piece is secured to the
axle shaft somewhat like the gaiters on steering racks (with a hose clamp).
If yours is like that, you can loosen the clamp and shoot a good quality
grease into the gaiter and tighten the clamp.

Subject: [Spits] "CV-Joint" driveshaft
My car has the driveshaft with the big can-like cv-joint thing on one
end and a regular U-joint on the other. How do you service that big
joint? I assume it should have some grease in it or something? I've
noticed that it has a good bit of play in it and lets out a clang on
occasion....
