Most CV Shafts I have seen so far have alot of grease for its design and that If you did install a static spring in the grease cup you would need to have a clean solder contact. but I would not go into that until you have the tire static issue resolved.
The Tire Talc I read was mainly for Bicycle riders who are agruing over tire talc for tubed tires, and so forth as I have gathered info. also I am expecing a email in that respect from Bridgestone / Firestone in the next few days which I hope to share sometime in the next few days SKED 4 Me is work Thurs thru Sat. and possible Sun.
