mine are split, don't know how, don't know why but i do know i need to get them fixed, how much are boots?

i can't find them anywhere and toyota told me it costs 107 dollars just for boots.

 

is that installed or just parts cost,if it installed then jump on it as they are a pain to install .

 

just parts cost, i can install them at school, they aren't that hard right? just get the hub offf and the boot, don't even need to take the axle out, it's just hte outboard cv boot

 

Yeah if you have access to tools it is fairly straight forward pain to get the hub off half the time on most the front drive cars I have tore apart......but if you have tools and a warm shop you are set.

 

yup, i go to uti, i have access to pretty much anything out there. haha

 

so yea, i just need the boot. i want to get it on asap before i blow the wheel bearings

 

once you get it open clean them out good and regrease.......even a little bit of dirt can trash them shortly.

 

i havn't had the chance to really check the boot out either, maybe it's a tiny hole that i can patch with some silicone or soemthing for temporary usage until i can find a good price on a boot.

i can't believe toyota sells it for 100 a piece.

 

just get the boots. call up pepboys or something and get an oem replacement one. you can buy a whole new axle for a little more. boots shouldn't cost more than 30-40 bucks i think.

 

yea, should be cheap, i checked at napa, they said they dont' have boots for our cars cuz it's too new, i'll check pepboys and autozone tomorrow, thanks.

do ou think they would have it?

 

they should dude, its cv boots, i doubt napa would anyways but pepboys, autozone should have em' unless they special order them.

 

hahah Urinary Track Infection

NEIT FTW ****!

cv boots shouldnt be bad, and iirc you would be making youre life a lot easier by just taking the axles out and doing it on a bench.... uti should have taught you that NEIT did haha

 

lol

 

its funny, cuz it's a uti instructor that im pretty sure split mine too.

they did teach me that, i just figure it would be easier to just slipt he boot off and put another one back on, either way it's the same amount of effort! haha


uti sucks btw, i hate it's *****.

 

hahah yea i hear quite a few bad things about UTI,

anyways take the axle off the car, its not difficult (shouldnt take more then 15min)

reseal the boot and throw it back in

have fun

 

Buy a split boot. Cut the old one off. Install new boot. Done.

 

no beuno, been around to autozones, pepboys and other places no boot but the dealership and im not paying 107 for a damn boot kit

i'm just going to take it off and reseal it, hopefully the wheelbearing can last until saturday

 

what is a splitboot?

 

yea, they are pretty stupid there, but any intelligent person absorbs the right kind of information

i actually learned alot, way more than i would have learned out just in the field.

besides, i'm not even being a mechanic, engineering major ftw!

 

Wait what?

Oh I see. . .

Just replace the CV shaft its a lot easier plus I've never seen repair boots last that long.
