so i went to get my car tuned and oil changed and all that stuff today and after they were done he told me i had a broekn axle boot...anyone know anything about it , if its a big problem or anything, and how much it will probably cost to get repaired?

 

yea my boot broke like in december time and i still dog the shit out of my car, but go to ebay and pick yourself up one its only $50, cant go wrong...

i ordered one and should be comming tomorrow and ill let you know how it is... due to the weather it might be delayed...

 

i got my toyotas boots changed a couple of days ago.

before i had it changed the car would sound like a roller coaster

when using throttle in/out of turns.

now shes a dream.

ill actually post up some pix of the snow and the paint job, since its not covered in snow (tarp)

 

u mean the CV boot, mine got ripped apart after i lowered my car....im gonna pick up a re-boot kit in a bit and see how it goes...

 

well we get this a couple times out of the day at my work. What we do is we actually replace the hole axle shaft just incase there is something elsethat could go wrong with it. Like if you get some dirt in there or the loss of the grease could ruin the gears on ur axle and normally to have the part and labor done on it is around $350. I would recommend just getting a new cv shaft.

 

mine went too a few months ago, and there are two boots on the axel. it was 80$ can. for 1 boot of 140 for new oem axel. and odds are when one goes, the other will too and like big pimpin said if there is anything wrong you could get stuck in a world of hurt.

imo get the whole axel changed. it'll save you in the long run

 

in the states the whole axle is 90 bucks. You will be a lot better off changing the whole thing.

 

well i got one for 30 bucks, shipped. it came in yesterday and what do you know... its in perfect condition...

 

where u get one for 30 bucks

 

ebay!

 

the whole axel?

ummmm... well i needed the passenger side one... soo yea...

dunno if that link works...

 

I got new CV axles installed recently from a cracked boot because it was a lot cheaper that way. With the dealership discount I got parts and labor for $220 for two cv axles.

 

If you hear a clicking sound while turning, like for a U-turn, its time to have the axles replaced anyway. There are axle boots that you can put on without removing the axle though for about $40.
