CV Boots leaking. Ugh.
Hi everyone.
I'm looking for advice on what to do about the CV Boots I saw leaking on my 2008 4Runner, 132k miles. See photos. Axle with the "CPTD" is passenger side and was replaced by dealership in 2019 when they said the original was leaking. The other/driver side (photo won't upload) is original axle and boot and seems like just the clamp slipped on the axle and boot slipped out from it.
I'm thinking I can keep the axles and just buy the Toyota OEM boot kit and have a 'good' mechanic replace the boots. I don't think I want to try this myself, especially without a lift.
Any thoughts or ideas? If the driver side is simply a matter of the clamp and boot slipping out from it, is there a way to regrease the joint and reclamp it without pulling the axle off?
