Grasstrack cars use sierra cv joints some times at 60deg, go side ways at 40-60mph under full power with 240bhp and only need replacing every 3 yrs. Buy a new cv pack with correct grease and I bet the car suffers from tin worm well before the cv packs up.

That's a fair point, but what mileage are they doing over those 3 years?

Just because something lasts 3 years in one situation doesn't mean it will in others. The point I was making is that it is ideal to have them straight, as that will minimise wear

Then again, for a Haynes to have a CV joint at 60 deg. then something has gone horribly wrong.
