Thanks all. I may have been over thinking this one. A Closer inspection shows Boot is not torn, the original clamp seems to have come a little loose on one end. Going to cut both clamps, dump some grease back in the boot and 're clamp.

I have an 07 v8 awd, just noticed lh front cv seems to have crapped out its grease.not very familiar with cv shafts, do I need to replace now or wait for it to start making noise?

my god, you have your own bead blaster too! I wish you were my neighbor.

what a fu%*ing mess.....

anyone with multiples may be able to help me - I will be needing to upgrade to convertible carseats for our 6 month old triplets soon. Anyone know which one's will fit 3 wide in the back seat? ( I have already looked into the sunshine kids radian seats, thet are 300 each!)

that makes for a crappy start to the day, but at least both of you are ok. Its a lot easier to fix a wadded up truck than it is to fix a person.

Dont forget to lube u joints every oil change

That speech would have had much more dramatic impact if the words ******* and mother****er did not get censored.

Yup, I would not blame anyone but myself for not ensuring the mats that I put in would not slide around and become a problem. I think we all need to think old school and take responsibility for our own actions, not try to blame someone else for 'causing' a mistake. From the **** that sued...

If you remove the tire and look at the rear of the rotor/caliper, you can see a horizontal groove in the middle of the pads(see pic) this is a visual indicator of life left. These have 30k on them and are at half life. at about 1/8 thickness left, there is a little "nub" of metal that will...

I forgot how to even turn on the rear wiper. All that thing does is create a 10 inch area of smear across the window anyway.
