I imagine he took the Cv out before he took it to the shop though. section525 09-11-2003, 04:58 PM You can buy universal boots. Jefe has a good write up with pics on how to remove the CV. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=53863&highlight=control+arm VairKing 09-11-2003, 05:37 PM Do yourself a favor and replace the whole cv joint instead of just the boot...it will save headaches in the long run... section525 09-11-2003, 05:42 PM Originally posted by VairKing Do yourself a favor and replace the whole cv joint instead of just the boot...it will save headaches in the long run... :chug: Specially if this boot has been torn for a while. Mine lasted about 1.7k with a torn boot. :( |
