Greetings List,
I noted that my front CV boots were shot so I bought boots (expedited shipping) from Bus Depot and took them to my normal shop. �They told me that they (and according to them, no one) every replaces just the boots. �They said I needed the whole new axle.
This doesn't make much sense to me, because suppose I was off-road and just tore a boot on a new axle....would I then have to replace the entire axle again?
Now assuming the outer CV joint was dry and bad, but the inners are good.....do you still have to replace the entire axle or can you replace just the outer CV joint?
The whole thing is very confusing. �I'm going to call Bus Depot later when they open, but they list an outer CV joint and boot kit for $211.38 and the inner for $106.70. �Van Cafe has new front axle for $265. �Do the Bus Depot products not include the axle, just the CV joints? �And does the Van Cafe product include the axle AND the joints (picture would indicate so)?�
As I said, the nomenclature is very confusing. �Please help me understand all the parts.
Thanks, Anthony'89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)
