Driving with a ripped axle boot will result in grease being slung all over your car's fenderwell, under carriage, etc..

also result in having to possibly replace the axle.. due to all the grease that slung out and the joint being dry..

You can drive the car, but get it FIXED!!

Get it done early then you only need to buy new boot and grease.

Iv been driving on a ripped boot for awhile and now need boot,grease and cv bearings. Which will cost a bit more.
