Cv Joint Boot Failure

[RedLiner]

I think this may have been the cause of the noise i was hearing from my front right.....

[MR22ZZ]

yep, get the boot replaced and repacked ASAP to avoid damage to the CV joint itself.

but that's a big let go of the seems there... never seen a CV boot leak with that much grease before.

[RedLiner]

yep..

I got a CV boot replaced under warranty. Nowhere near as bad as that but still a big clean up job considering how clean I like to keep the underside of my car.....

[selyaT]

WOAH I only just saw this, that is a massive amount of spooge there, how did you clean it?

driver side, too?

You're on D2's right? How low is the car?

CV's have a tendancy to go more quickly when the car's been lowered (or in the case of off-roaders raised).

Did you have coilovers installed??

the car is low....but the wheels dont rub or anything..

the coilovers have been on for just over a month.....do they go that quickly?

[CORZZA]

maybe when they installed your coil overs they cut the CV boot by mistake

Certainly not in a month ! It's more a gradual thing over a bit of time.

Wouldnt leak straight away then??

So if the cv joint was making the noise i was hearing...does that mean its ******???

If so...what are the consequences of a ****** Cv joint?? apart from the cost of replacing it of course..

Toyota is actually going to have a look at it on Friday morning...

they will then decide whether they can repair it under warranty...

the guy told me its not always the fault of the suspension...so before they can decide if it can be done under warranty..they gona check it..

so yer lol..waiting in anticipation.

[RedLiner]

did i mention that a new drift shaft will cost around $1200...

Sounds like a metal clicking noise...

like something is under strain..then lets go.....sort of thing lol..i dont know..its hard to describe...

[specialized32]

Clunk clunk clunk then eventually pop …oh crap….$$$$.....im broke lol. But yeah something along the lines of that

[RedLiner]

it only makes the noise when u turn....so try and drive in a straight line as much as possible lol

[CAP]

Best way to see if it happens is go to a carpark and do full lock turns, if you hear click click click... then you need to look at your cv's

[CORZZA]

yeah when you turn and you hear click,click,click its cv issues.

How they hell you gonna clean all that oil george?

[RedLiner]

WITH DEGREASER AND A HOSE PETE

My car was lowered on kings and koni's. No probs at all.

i would think it would have been the opposite...as they CV's wou;dn't move as much so less strain on the boots...
