Mechanic just told me that both my front CV Boot is split and I would have to replace them.
Can I have a tutorial on how to go about it? it is a 98' non superstrut celica. |

Tried those wrap around boots once, they lasted about 2 months before they fell off, a good short term soultion but not a perminant fix by any means. I dont see why you should replace the whole axel instead of just the boots, a liitle bit excesive I think!
Try the splitt CV boot and see how it goes, as long as you keep it clean and take time to glue it together correctly it should be OK. Otherwise take it to a garage, it`ll take em less than an hour (per side) to fix and is worth the peace of mind and lack of hastle. |
