check under my cv joint >its ripped am i fucked

grab a roll of thicc ass black duct tape. wrap it up and call it a day

You're fine. If it starts to click when turning a certain direction it's time to replace it.

Replacing the boot should be fairly simple, if that's the only part that's fucked.

>>16000522
replace the boot or the joint cause its clicking sometimes thats why i looked under

>>16000546
Simpler to just replace the whole axle.

>implying they still make them

Must be nice to own a modern car. No one makes axles for my shit anymore, I replaced all my torn boots, and thankfully I have no clicking. I was also lucky enough to find low mileage used axles that I scooped up for $200, they are an investment for me at this point.


Yes, if they still make axles for your car, its quicker, and simpler to just replace them. Although I found it enjoyable cleaning off the old grease, taking everything apart, and replacing the boots

i literally just used jb kwik weld to glue an old ball joint boot back together less than an hour ago
>first time i tried it
>weld already set, gave the boots some flex
>mfw pleasantly surprised
i used quik weld vs normal for the fast cure time, but you might want to use the full strength stuff and wait the whole 24hr cure time
>it's not a permanent fix but it's less than $10

I have a ripped boot on my old Fiat 500. Dabbed some PL Construction Adhesive (8x) over it and called it a day. No more leaks.

you can try using a boot that belongs to another car of the same size as yours. i remeber a old friend of mine used mercedes tire rod boots on his subaru. it worked for him, maybe it would work on your axle too

>>16000581
this. replacing the boot is a pain, and a new axle usually costs as much as the repair kit.

>>16000594
That's your own fault for buying a car that doesn't have common replacement parts.

Just pack it with heavy grease once a month.

>>16000510
Don't be a bitch and replace the boot it's just as easy as doing the whole thing. Mine has been like that for a year I kept putting grease in it so I didn't have to replace it right away.

Pro tip. Don't put too much grease in the inner joint. If its too stiff with fast suspension moves it pulls out of transaxle.

>>16000510
no. replace the boot. throw a little extra grease in there if it's missing any. or just save yourself some time and effort buy a duralast axle from autozone for $70 with a lifetime warranty like I did on my truck

>>16001614
Dirt gets in there no matter how much grease you pack. Just replace the whole axle

>>16001446
No you are. It really isn't a big deal

>>16001583
Yep. ETCG explains it pretty nicely in the first two minutes of this video.

My passenger boot is ripped and my driver side is cracking. I got other priorities right now and they're not making any noises at all yet so I'll wait until I take care of other shit first.

the fuck? they are always splined and circlipped or snap ring'd to constrain the star

>>16001671
Why would I spend the extra money if it's not broken yet? It's not a difficult job so I don't care if worst case I have to do it in another year.

You could probably find some refurbs if you look around enough.
