    Axle help!

    so today i noticed that there was a lot of black shit on my passenger side wheel, when i bent down to look at it i noticed that it was splattered all over the well... after many many mathematical solutions and a couple DNA tests my group of scientologiticans determined that it was grease! i havent taken the wheel off to see what the culprit is but my guess would be the CV boot went to shit, there is no clicking of any kind when driving but i can tell you that i did hit a gnarly pot hole a couple days ago. should i go get new boots and replace them or just wait til the end of the month for the Gov't to send me my misery and replace the axle altogether?

    you can just replace the boot if there is no popping yet .my pop has done that before and it worked . maybe best bet to find out what is the problem and go from there. also replace both axles at the same time if you decide to change one. you will get longer life out of them .

    A man that keeps looking back can't see whats in front of him.

        IMHO-don't waste your time trying to replace the boot.

        If you can pop the ball joints out and remove the massive nut holding the axle on, it's really not that difficult or expensive to just replace the entire axle.

        And if you're replacing the whole thing anyway you can wait a few weeks without worrying that it will fall off cuz the boot is torn.

            Good to hear you got both, they're $60 each at autozone though...

            IMO, rebuild the front end. Upper and lower ball joints, and tie rod ends. Then it just depends how far you want to go. If you do the what I just suggested, you'll have the knuckle off, so you could change rotors, bearings, and brakes.

            Then make sure you get an alignment. You'll also have the warm fuzzy feeling of a new front end.

                  $125 isn't a bad deal. I don't have any experience with Pep Boys axles (and they're remanuafactured for sure, at that price) so be careful. They might suck! However, replacing both at the same time is a VERY good thing to do. If the Pep Boys axles suck, I suggest going to NAPA. I ran one of their remans for about 7 years with no problems (even raced on it) and only replaced it because I separated the joint and couldn't get it back together.

                  Check the DIY section for a very good writeup on how to change the axles written by LadyG94CB7.


                  As for rebuilding the front end... replace all those parts that Geoff mentioned. Tie rod ends (or the full tie rods if they need it, but that can be a bitch), all bushings, all ball joints, etc... The ball joints especially are VERY important. If you have any ball joints with torn boots, that can be extremely dangerous, and they should be changed ASAP. I would get all suspension parts from Honda, as aftermarket cheapie parts can sometimes be worse than worn OEM parts!

                      From previous experience, replace with new. Boots are NOT the way to go if they have been torn open already. axles get exposed to elements faster then anything else. new ones cost about 120 tops. Dont bother getting remanned, they usually lack on quality on the rebuild, and you never know what happened to them.

                        yea, they're reman'd the dude said they have a "life-time" warranty, of course as long as im not jumping the grand canyon or change ownership...
                        i think for now imma go grab me a new boot and pop it on and save up to get the whole front end done.

                        I checked that DIY out in fact looking for help, i think that without this site my car would SPONTANEOUSLY combust... you know how those things happen every full moon when you fart at the right time in the right tone.

                          yea thought about that, i can't find any new ones though. i read that replacing a boot is about as effective as using duct tape on the broken one since i have been running it like that for a couple days. i'm not licking yet so i was wondering what if i get a new boot tho and clean the living shit out of my axle and re-grease it my self?
