Hi guys. Here it goes quickly. I was checking tire pressure the this morning and noticed something in my rar drivers rim. On the inner part of the rim there is grease all around it, like it was splattered and spun! I took off the wheel and inspected the area and boom, the boot on my cv joint is busted. It seems to have been something from the road which sliced it up or something but its basicaly brand new, just with a small slit through which all the grease has come out of. Can they replace the boot only without having to take off the axle and the complete assembly? I was reading the TSB and it says you have to replace a lot of bolts and nuts if you remove the cv joint / axle so i was wondering if you guys could help me out. I need a reputable mechanic that handles these situations and i am not in budget to pay the dealer to screw me in the a$$ for this one. I live in the Miami, FL area 33015. I am looking for someone who would torque everything correctly etc back to its original specs. I cant afford to have something go wrong with the suspension while going 80 mph on the highway and something snaps or comes loose. You guys know what i mean, i just want quality. Let me know how you can help!

 

Yeah the reason they put new bolts on it because bolt stretch over time and washer stay compress which put no tension on the bolt. A axle is easy to change. They also put seals on to make sure nothing leaks.

 

Yeah i figured that, i dont have a problem with getting the new parts. I just need a reputable mechanic around the area which would do this. Please help guys ^_^

 

it will be covered under warranty, time to visit your dealer...

 

Yeah i understand it might be covered, but thats not the only thing i want done to the car. I want to pop in some new springs and change out shocks for a drop and do some misc work. The dealer will rip me a new one so no thanks. Still no one knows a reputable mechanic in the Miami area???? !!!!!!!

 

Try going on craigslist or going to the or going to the regional forums.

 

have the dealer fix the free problem...

take the car somewhere else for the install, or have a friend come over and help you out...

 

Already done and came out like a champ! Took me a while to do but finally got it accomplished. I wish i had a lift at the house, dream on baby, dream on..... Now i got Axle click coming from the other axle! YAY! another fun time
