#21640, "A lot better..."




          

Took my car to the shop to get the left front CV boot and right front Tie rod replaced. Turns out the CV boot had been ripped for a while and the axle needed to be replaced.

I noticed that the engine/front end shuddering that I felt was gone. All that time I thought it was the Clutch or Transmission...

Now all I need to do is get some good coilovers and replace the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)....

Glad to hear you are keeping up with maintenance! Often times the labor for a boot and the whole CV axle is the same, if not the boot is more because it is a pain to disassemble the shaft to puyt a new boot on. Plus when you get a new shaft you get a bad ass warranty on it too. I work at Sears Auto, and whenever the boot is ripped on a vehicle I usually just recommend replacing the shaft.

Exactly, the boot is $14.95 + $80 for labor. The shaft was $89 + the labor.

The car handles so much better now.. Also got an alignment...no more steering to the left!!!
