    Default Problem w/ CV axle boot need help

    So i was doing a oil change today and i saw this, my drivers side boot is leaking, the fluid is stuck all across that side.

    Whats the best way to get this fixed, what does this boot do? Does it jus protect whats inside?
    Please help me out, id really appreciate it

    The Power steering fluid level is normal

    Picss
    Drivers Side-Broken

    Passenger Side-Not leaking

    that is you cv boot, and has a tear in it. tghe boot keeps the grease in that the cv joints need, once u start running out of greas its going to wear those joints and then you will start hearing a clicking sound while turning.

    I believe an auto parts store sells the boots you will just ned a mechanic to install it.

    yea, you can buy just the boots, but if it's clicking, go ahead and replace the axel. It will come with a new boot...

    naw man i mean he could prob do it. but it is less messy for him to just replce the whole axle. i dont think u will find anywhere cheaper unless it is someone u know that will hook u up.

    altima right. less than 50 for the boot and shouldnt be more than 2.5 hours for labor. now those altima boots are quite easy. so if you take it to... a small shop they should because able to do it within a hour or so... i dont know where you are but i would take it to friends auto off pleasant hill. ask for James. i worked with him. and he knows the nissans for sure like me. im sure he can do it quick and cheap for you.

    sorry but this just cracks me up

    but i talked to a mechanic, he said he'll replace the axle+boot=150 bucks
    f that
    auto zone/advance auto zone/o'reilly
    you can probably get a new/refurbish one for around 50-90 bucks and takes less than 30min to replace

    dont forget, they are lifetime warranty, which is +++++++++++++++++++++


    oh and i meant the whole half shaft aka axle, not boot
