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  btw, i'm going to replace the joints AND the boots on both sides of the car This post has been edited by Delta_Phoenix: Jan 10, 2004 - 8:22 PM |

as long as you have all the right tools it shouldnt be too hard to change it out, and if it is already making a popping noise then the joint has gone bad. every time i have changed out an axle i havent replaced the seal and it has never givin me any problems leaking. i think at my shop we only charge 60-75 bucks to change the axle, and if the driver side is not busted, then you dont need to change it.
