Default Ripped CV boot, what do I need to replace?

Is it the entire axle that I'm replacing? How much does that cost me? It's for a EG 93 Si hatchback.

If its the original axle all the grease is probably gone. If you hear a clicking sound when you turn you need to replace the axle. $50-100 for a new axle, you can do it yourself. Recomend: Helms manual and do not use a pickle fork to break away the ball joint it will split!

If there is no serious damage to the actually driveshaft then I believe you can go to the dealership or anywhere else and buy the boot along with the grease. If you are mechanically inclined then taking a few bolts off and pulling the driveshaft out shouldn't be that hard of a task.


Good Luck!

If it hasn't gotten too bad all you need to do is get a new boot and repack the grease. Other than that, you will have to replace the WHOLE axle. Which should cost you $50-60, after trading in your old one.
