one of my CV joint boots has decided to start throwing grease all over the place. i'm kind of afraid to go searching around for how much a shop would charge to replace them. the parts alone are gonna be like $160.

would it be worth my time to just do it myself? I like workin on my car, but i don't wanna get myself into something that i'm gonna regret after i get started.

or maybe I'll just get John to do it biggrin.gif

btw, i'm going to replace the joints AND the boots on both sides of the car

I was going to replace the joints and the boots on both sides, but would I really have to replace the entire axle? I'm not very educated in the drivetrain parts so I'm not sure what I'd need to replace and what not to. It's only the passenger side boot that's damaged. I have grease all over my front passenger wheel, and the joint is also starting to pop when I make sharp turns.

biggrin.gif yea its actually cheaper. just got to autozone and ask for the 2 front axles
