i went to the store about an hour ago and i noticed some liquid type stains on the inside and on the front spokes of my rims, at first i did'nt pay too much attention to it (i just thought they were dirty!!) but when i got home i decided to take a closer look and.....holy **** (the pics speak for themselves) the axle seems fine, the car still drives smooth. the only thing that seems wrong at this point is that the rubber boot has a tear, what should i do?? can and should i, still drive the car for right now?? i leave tuesday for 2 weeks vacation, should i just wait and fix it when i get back?? i'm only going to be driving to work. any help would be appreciated

i would definately drive it as little as possible you dont want to run it dry then youll have to spend 300 to get a new one

you live in vegas so gamble it.. wait for after your vac.

shawn_crx

wow 300 for a new one... better be made it china and pure gold

there is a nice write up on how to replace whole axle.

i had same thing on my old hatchback, id take it real easy, and as long as it drives ok id wait till after vacation to fix, but it would be first thing id do when i got back!

i got my remanufactured axle for $75 with core. they have it at your local parts store

that was actually my other question, do i have to replace the whole axle?? i replaced this same one-passenger side- about 13 months ago, that time it broke, so it's still fairly new (no trips out of town just city driving)

tsdenny

i think its about $30 to replace the boot.
i rather do the whole axle, just to be safe.
its almost the same amount of work to change either one

300? for a axle!
your crazy, buddy just got 2 new ones with life time warrenty for 195.

jtmartin96civic

wow. anyone that pays 300 for a single OEM axle is absolutly retarded.

Depend on how deep your pocket is...
your driving habits... etc..
But from the look of your axle ---> stop racing

Replacing the axle is not emergent in the least. Wait 'til you get back from vacation especially if you're gonna replace the axle anyway. The grease is just there to prolong axle life.

i've hit several potholes and other construction junk that they lay out on the street (there's always some f***ing construction or repair going on here, and they dont always warn you!!) and most of the damage has been on that side. NEVER RACED THE CAR!!!!
