Default CV Axles

Hi guys,
Car is a 94 Accord EX. I'm basically building a new car for my father in law, transmission is rebuilt, engine is at the machine shop getting redone. Better to rebuild, than buy some other person's mess.

The axles weren't very nice either, so I bought some remans online. Passenger side feels pretty nice, joints are tight, yet move easily. The driverside was a closeout special and the joint that goes into the wheel hub is ridiculously tight - it takes a lot of force to move it around. Is that normal? I've never put in a new axle that was so tight. I think it's bad or maybe it didn't get greased, but rockauto says it's not. Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

hey good luck, but if your able to remove the boot without ripping it.. and see if there is any grease and if there isnt then apply grease.. and if there is grease then its 100% okay to install like that..
