while I was getting my brakes replaced, I noticed the cv boot on my passenger side was busted, and the one on my drivers side was starting to leak.

I know this is something I can ride on for a bit (until I hear a clicking during turns, which I have yet to hear). About how long would any of you say?

or am I asking a dumb question.... h:

advice, yO! :fawk:

 

it kinda depends if you drive on a lot of dirt, and wet roads then not long. That is what makes the clicking sound dirt inbetween the gears... no real way to tell maybe 3 months maybe 9 tops... kinda iffy

 

yup, 3 to 4 months. I was driving on my busted boot for about 3 months until I almost busted my axle.

 

yeah, thats why I figured I was asking a stupid question h:

I deliver pizza's for my job, so I put on about 70+ miles a day.

I figure once I start hearing a clicking, that'll tell me my axles about to break, and at that point, start thinking twords fixing it.

I wish I could have a few thousand saved by then, tho. Get a swap at the same time

any places you guys would suggest picking one up for cheap?

 

Dumb question!!!! lol jk



I wouldnt know tho hasnt happen to me

 

my boots are torn, and honda dealership wants 280 to do install with all new axle, so that is getting done next paycheck... due to I also drive about 60 - 70 miles a day

 

:thumbup:

 

yeah, brake check was saying like $250 a boot.

I laughed. That seemed too expensive.

I think I'll make a DIY out of this, and get my brother-in-law to help me on it.

 

:chuckles: :goodjob:


i've been on my busted cv boot for a long time. i know i need to fix it, i just haven't had the time or means yet. i'd say i've been on it over a year. :dunno:

 

:werd: if you do it before me, do a good write up cause i plan on doing it myself but i don't know how yet.
