well i'm sure some of you have ready my 612 dolar alignment post. And as i mentioned in it My rubber boot over the CV joint on the left side is split wide open. The mechanic said the axel is dry it is going to go out before too long. Is there anyway i can prolong this from happening. like maby grease it or fill the boot with oil and glue the split so it doesnt leak out?

 

Just buy a new boot, grease the axel, and install the boot. Simple job, and a lot cheaper than buying a new axle.

 

the whole shaft cant be over 150 bucks, do it urself, or get a boot kit they are about 25 bucks no you cant glue them

 

wow i cant believe i never thought of doing that. I guess i was just thinking the boot was made in with it and couldnt be replaced. well looks like i have a project for the weekend. Can anyone say tutorial? i'll make sure to snap pics

 

oh ill be looking forward to that!

 

^^^ god this site lags lol

 

yea that would be great and complaining isnt going to make it any better so please would you just STOP its starting to annoy me

 

ask me if i care...

 

ok did i miss something who's got what up their ***?

 

Some just think they know it all, and like to mock others that don't. Don't let it bother you. Any one or the repair. It's not a big job, just cut off the old boot and clamps (side cutters and utility knike). Grease it up and put on the new boot and clamps. Just buy a split boot thats made for instalation on an axle thats still on the truck, grease usualy comes with it. Give it a try and let us know how it went.
