Hey guys so last night, after a 6 hour round trip to go get my new rims, i put them and look under my car.....my front passanger inner axle boot is completly ripped open.

What is causing this? can it be because im too low having an AWD car? This is starting to annoy me

 

same thing happen to me. im not sure what is causing this, i have put up a thread about this like a week ago. no one chimed in. but i found out that rockauto.com sells the boot and grease for about 12 bucks. but im thinking about buying the whole assembly which cost about 100 something. but we really need someone to chime in about this. im scared if i changed this again the same problem occur again and again. and i dont want to keep going in for an alignment after i fix it.

did it look like you ran over cow/chicken crap in a farm? ^_________^

 

yeah its so ****ty, not 1 car place or dealership in CT had this part in stock :/ Also how did u find the boot? i cant find it on that website

 

i think the company is in new jersey or ct.

that's just the boot only.

i think im going to order mine soon too. you have to remove the hub and everything just to replace that. so i prefer doing it on a lift. because i was thinking about the ground with floor jacks, but it might be more difficult. but... i think it should be pretty easy. hope this helps.

 

and it's under Drivetrain -> cv joint boot -> front outer.

 

yeah my friend had the whole axle out and on the ground only to figure out that we couldnt find one anywhere so we put it all back together

 

nice, i need to do mine also. probably in a few days i'll put in an order, with 2inner fender for the front, because im scared my cai will suck in water. lol and new pair of headlights so i can do projectors on them. that site is really cheap, and the shipping is hella fast on the east coast.

 

wish it was thursday because shipping is only on busniess days haha whatever my friend ordered one from autozone, maybe ill buy few as a backup incase

 

yeah same here. since other awd guys didn't chime in or read this. welps, hope i helped you enough with the info. ttyls! ^____________^

 

they do rip. My got rip, but lucky I got covered under warranty.

 

blahh time to go a lil higher :/

 

hahahaha, for some reason my s-tech is going lower and lower. lol

 

how's your ride with the coilovers? since your's so low, how many time you ripped yours?

 

im as low as the front coils can go for the X lmao

 

DIY Video please! I need to replace mine as well! Thanks!
