you're a scholar and a saint.

 

My OEM CV axle boot is sheered open from this weekends fun, i already have the SDHQ boots in my parents garage. How hard is it realistically to replace just the boots?

 

What about a loud whine every time I mash the gas pedal?

 

Never done it, curious myself. Thinking I should have the SDHQ boots thrown on when my axles get rebuilt

 

Pulling them out is the easy part. But replacing the boots isnt as easy. Note: the SDHQ boots do not come with the inner clamp or grease.

 

Pick parts out of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bTJRzrv4iA

 

because its $100 for a brand new CV and just say do it live instead of breaking down the CV and replacing the boots. Problem is i already paid and have had the SDHQ boots for months in the garage.

 

Check out CVJ axles. Its $120 I think for a rebuilt OEM CV or $150 with the upgraded extended silicone boots. The boots are awesome, I love mine

 

Go to my build thread for a bunch of info on cvj axles. I emailed them and they gave me a ton of info. Its for a first gen but shouldn't be all that different.

They mention all the different boots and how each on is different as well.

 

What page?

 

This is another debate to have. Yes you can save some cash replacing the boots but if the axles are clicking on turns and have some big miles on them it may be more cost/time effective to just replace them.
I have a full extra set of complete new axles and a 2nd set of shafts on my garage floor. I picked them up cheap from someone who went LT. When these go ill swap in thr replacements and rebuild these with sdhq boots.

 

@northwesttaco let me get your axles when you go LT

 

these are my OEM axles, so 146,xxx miles on them. Might just say screw it and replace.

 

I'm going to just replace the shaft, keep everything else. The SDHQ boots tear so easily I'm going to keep my cvj ones.

Yeah I definitely would at that mileage. It'll save you a lot of time and hassle too. Highly recommend cvj..

 

i had just replaced my other one about a month ago, otherwise id buy two CVJs.

 

Id say replace the full shafts and prehaps look at the costs to rebuild them with the SDHQ boots later for a spare set. You may get lucky and come across a good deal like i did.

 

If you don't return a your oem cv then you don't get your core charge back.. I think the core charge is $100 per axle

 

If you are going to keep and fully rebuild a set ill sell you the new shafts I have cheap man. Because i have 2 complete spares ill never use them.

 

It's in the original post.

Should be bold and say cvj axle info

Here is the link that should take you to it.
