You could attempt to clean it up, But 2 things You don't know how much if any dirt is now mixed the gease=replace. Your gease is white, that means water has been there.

So remove the boot clean the joint, look for any visible damage, If your equipped, replace the boot pack the grease.

Otherwise buy a new one, there not very hard to install.

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

Go to your local NAPA, get a rebuilt axle for that side.
Should be about 50 bucks with your exchange.
You could put a boot on, lots of work and may be bad already
because the joint is contaminated. Replace it and be done.
just my .02

those prices are ridiculous. I know for a fact you can get a moog axle for that thing for 90 bucks I have done a cv axle on an lt and we charged the customer 120 for the part and an hour labor. 4something? that dealer is trying to rip you off.

It is a great idea to replace the whole cv axle on that side.
Here is a NAPA ProLink page shot, I looked up an 06 2.2L ?
Depending on your local NAPA price between $50-$60 exchange.
This page only shows list price, because I have hid my price.

He did just the boot ?

Watch the blue split boots,
they will start leaking at the split
and be right back where you were before.
