CV boot problem
well we did my coilovers today and i was very happy till i got home and went to put my stock rims back on. on the passengers side, the wheel well was covered in grease. i traced it to the cv boot which has a hole in it. so, i guess it needs to be replaced. anyone have experience with this? how much does it cost for a replacement and where can i get one? i'm gonna try to get the insurance co to fix it since it "might" have been from the acciedent, but if it doesn't work i will need one asap. thanx in advance for the help.

They aren't that hard to change you can get a boot at any parts store just don't get the two piece boot. The only bad thing about changeing them is you can get really dirty. I know of somebody who had the dealership replace theirs for free. His was torn while his springs were being installed at his house.
