[QUOTE=Mister Two]But that burning smell is the grease inside the boot being flung out by centripetal force on to hot engine components as the drive shaft turns.[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't centripetal force push grease into the joint? If so, you wouldn't actually need boots at all?


Bit f&$%^n pedantic really, but she are a good language when used righter.

Centrifugal is the correct word :)

[QUOTE=BALISTC]Centrifugal is the correct word :)[/QUOTE]
I thought centrifugal and centripetal meant the same thing? :confused: oh well ignore me im just an ignorant bastard learning to speak english :)

[QUOTE=BALISTC]Centrifugal is the correct word :)[/QUOTE]

You are both right and wrong. Centripetal is a correct word and is the opposite of centrifugal. i.e. pushing someone towards the middle.

I think you meant centrifugal which is stuff being pushed from the inside out. The force generated in your CV boots is centrifugal.

You were hoping that the force was centripetal.

oh that explains it :D back to physics 101

Pffft. Whatever. You know what I mean. Spell Check cant help me here.

:book1: grammatical errors aside, I do believe this thread was about fixing things not the english language... :eek: lol....
