So, I noticed I was getting a clicking noise from my driver front axle when turning and slowing down. I think ok axle is going bad. Check it out. The CV boot has slipped off of the halfshaft end. No rips or tears in it Just slipped off the end.

any suggestions on how I go about fixing this?
Justincredible
no thoughts?

talk to slo-pny i think replacing the boot and replacing the whole halfshaft there is only like $20 dollar diff.
but dont quote me on that one

just replace the whole shaft so you dont have to worry about it anymore

If it's clicking already, you need to get a new half-shaft. I'm pretty sure that just replacing the boot won't fix your problem.

well crap. o well hopefully they are about the same price like resal said.

the shafts are around 110 including a 50 core, but the boot is only like 20 but the labor is about the same unless you are a do it yourselfer

i need new cv halfshafts cuz when that downpoor came down the parking lot was flooded up to my bumpers for about 2 hours, and now i think the cv boots are shot and the joints are dry

I looked it up to be 70 dollar reman with a 50 dollar core. I didnt see a core charge on a new one of 110.

of course im doing it myself. thats half the fun.

thats a good price, and you won't see a core on a new part cause the company that does the new ones don't get you old one back.....only the reman companies want your old parts back.

I've got a good used DS front axle that should work for you. Very good condition. $40, no core! biggthumpup.gif

call it 30 and you got a deal. I dont know what good a bad core would do me other than to turn it in, and perhaps a beating tool. LOL.
