97Rwagon Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Ahh sh.it - Thats why my wheels are greasing up? I just thought I had cheap brake pads and it was brake dust. How much to fix a CV boot? The dealer said I needed to get this done after last diagnostic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much to fix a CV boot? The dealer said I needed to get this done after last diagnostic.My guy here will do it for $200 or so. The kit is cheap comes with a boot, grease and clamps I would do it myself but it is a nasty job lots of axle grease (CV Boot Grease) Dealer=Devil they will charge you at least $400 and recommend replacing the axle. Unless you have mad "popping" noises coming from the front of your car forget the axle replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
