check your brake fluid to see if it is low also.

 

Is this for me? lol.....if so, could this cause the slip and vdc light to go on?
Maybee from removing the factory strut...and taking off the brake light nut??

 

Yes its for you. There is a brake light nut?

 

My bad I was on my phone and typing 2 things at once. I ment the nut that hold the brake line to coilover. Would the low brake fluid cause the slip/vdc lights to come on?

 

Definitely.

...and the new ride height looks great!

 

Weird...never woulda thought that...Ill have to check that.
Also I checked under the car last night. It appears to be the inner CV boot.

Thanks , I think I will be raising it alittle to prevent the Boot to be torn again.

 

lowered4lyfe, you can just replace the cv boot, ive replaced mine about 3 times on my own saving a shop from charging me 150$ for a job that takes 30 mins, you DONT need to replace the whole axle

and your steelingwheel is like that because you need an alignment

 

How hard was it to replace your boot? Was yours the inner or outer?
Any special tools needed? Yeah I would like to replace it myself the part is only like $25.00. Screw paying $125 for labor.

Thanks for everyones help.

 

You replaced the Inner CVJ boot in 30minutes?
just curious...are you removing the driveshaft and sliding a new one piece boot on or just putting on one of those wrap around CV boots that you need to seal. From what I'm told, those don't last very long.

 

yes. low brake fluid levels will set off ur VDC/Slip light. experienced this myself about 2 years ago.

 

Here is an example of properly replacing a CV boot. You need to remove the shaft. This guy does them quick because he does hundreds of them. Getting it off your car will take some work.

 

Looks like a good video..but i wouldnt have the slightest clue on removing it. I checked my brake fluid and its full..so im guessing its the alignment that threw the lights on. My question is, can i get an alignment and then next week get the boot fixed or will getting the boot fixed screw up the alignment?

 

Local garage wants $350 to replace the boot...Outrageous!!
is this something a franchise shop can do...ie Monroe, Midas, Sears, NTB??

 

Guy it is VERY simple to change the CV boot, the one i keep ripping and replacing is the on farthest from the wheel (not sure if its the inner or outer).

If someone can get me a good picture of the wheel well with the wheel off, like one side angle shot and one from inside the wheel well looking down on the knuckle, I will circle which nuts/bolts to take off and how to do it so i can save you guys the RIDICULOUS price. Honestly i can get this done in 30 mins if i rush, shiet i can make 600$ an hour replaces axle boots.

"Mikes CV boot replacement" hahah

 

Haha your a funny man Mike.....I will get that pic for you tmrw unless someone has one available now. It would be greatly appreciated. Every shop i talk to recommends replacing the axle since your taking the spline out of its factory position. Are there certain tools i will need.

Mike it would be 10x easier if u would just drive on over here and show me how
