    Looking for someone that can do the work in the Portland area. Preferably southwest burbs.
    Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, etc...

    Used to do all of my own work, but knee replacement is hampering me right now.

    I have bushing and removal tool. Still need to source an axle.

    Pic, because I love looking at it.upload_2021-10-29_13-21-27.jpg

    ask my wallet about my modifications...
    I used Vince at Mach1 Motorsports and can't say enough good thing about him. Pricing was very reasonable.
    Now that I'm garage-less, I had him install my lift (Front and AAL) along with ECGS bushing and my UCA's.
    Great guy and highly recommended if you need a Mechanic on the west side of Portland (Hillsboro).

    Mule is out in Tualatin. Fair price but they were booked a few months out.

    What's wrong with your axle?

    I tore the boot and had to cut it off on side of road
    I have a boot kit, but no idea on how to replace it, and figure since it has been over a year I should probably just replace the axle.

    All the things!
    Replacing the boot looks like a PITA to me. I'd much rather spend a few more bucks and buy a new/reman CV axle.

    One bit of advice, don't buy the random auto parts CV axles. They're notorious for failing prematurely. Stick with OEM!

    I watched the same video and decided NOPE, after I bought the kit.
    Looking for a good deal on an OEM axle, and of course time to get it done.
