this car is starting to piss me off..

[dman090]

ever since warrent ran out 3k miles ago, this car has been nothing but a problem. first the car goes thru 3 batterys in 2 months, then the rear shock decides that it dont need a bolt anymore and spits it out, now something is fucked up with my front axle..

i was cleaning my car and noticed this shit all over the inside and outside of my front passenger rim:


i turn the wheel so i can see what happend and find this :



does this mean im gonna have to dish out money on a new axle?

[wardzach2007]

Don't you just need a new CV joint? If i'm looking at it correctly.

[dman090]

im not sure really, i know nothing about axles, you think thats what it is?

damn that sucks, the only problem i got out of mine is there is something rolling around either around the e-break or on one of the seat tracks, everytime i stop and go i can hear that bitch rolling, its driving me up a fucking wall. hopefully its something i dropped down there and not a loose bolt

if it's clicking, yes. if not, it's rebuildable. it's barely worth it though. a single new axle is fairly cheap like 75-100 bucks. you'll spend around 30 rebuilding it but it's a pain in the balls to do. I see you have ksport coilovers those are pretty. just sayin.

just get a new boot and load it with grease.itll be good for a while

[cobalt123]

dang that sucks

[mrsilent13]

just replace the whole axle...its alot faster and easier than repacking your old one

[ff_drift_lol]

yeah repacking is not even worth it. we never repack and replace boots at the shop. it comes out cheaper with a new axle considering the amount of labor. takes me half hour to an hour max to swap any cv axle.

why thank you sir! they were a pain in hte ass to get adjusted properly, but i love the fuck out of them i still have yet to mess with the height on them

so i went to the dealer today, they said the Ksports jabbed into the boot and ripped it open, they said it would be 260 to replace he boot, and if it gets bad enought to where the joint messes up, 498 to replace the whole axle... FML
