assuming your cv joints aren't trashed, napa has a nice replacement for I think 12 bucks a boot. You'll also need to rent that clamp tool.

I remember reading somewhere that there was a recall on something like the CV joint or boot or something like that, might be worth checking out. Then it would be free from the dealer.

This leads me to believe that he just can't change the boot because the "clunky sound" is the sound of the CV shaft being bad the torn boot was the cause but it is just not the fix.

Go ahead and change both shafts and that "clunky sound" will vanish.

thats what i figured, i found out the reason mine are more expensive too, the ABS......lol and with my luck when i went to buy them their all " he we have those ine stock" but only when i said " oh the ones for ABS".....they say " oh, we dont got those".

lol thats just m luck, and their more expensive lol. oh well i got them for 205$ with a lifetime warrenty.

i know i could probably research it but since im here, how often should you change your CV shafts genraly?

Call the dealer and give them the VIN....they will be able to tell you.

If you want to know which ones have been issued for your car go here:

kool thanks alot

I know it's a little late but Fidanza makes performance cv shafts (also called half shafts) But if the ones you have have a lifetime warranty than the only trouble you'd have would be changing them out if anything happened again.

oh thats kool glad to know that, ya its a little late but hey at least i know now for the future thanks.
