1982 300TD axle side swap?

Submitted by mandhking on 28 May 2010 - 8:58am.

I just ordered a cv boot kit and am getting ready to rebuild the axles. I have read elsewhere that after rebooting it is a good idea to swap the axles to the opposite side that they were on with the idea that you would be putting the pressure in the spider joints on a different area. I didn't see anything about this the axle manual or web site. The idea made sense to me, but I'm wondering if it actually could have a negative effect?
