My passenger side CV joint is busted but not clicking yet. I was wondering how/if that is going to affect how well the car handles

 

No, handling is actually going to be much better!

 

yes, actually if you remove your rear LCA's your handling will also improve 15%

 

You guys are soo mean. He's not supposed to remove the LCAs, he's supposed to remove the springs.

 

I think he means the boot. Not the joint. Just a thought, I dont think the car would drive too well with a busted CV joint. But it will drive for awhile on a broken boot, or atleast until it leaks enough grease to break the joint.

go get it replace.

it's no good for the car

what year is yours ? if it's still in warentee go to dealer

i got it free from the dealer when mine was fugged

 

Me too

 

it shouldnt affect the handling until it drys up, you wheel is going to be a bitch to clean though if you dont get it fixed, it will spray grease all over

 

anyways, mines a 98 with a 12 month warranty. The part that pisses me off is that the dealership already ordered the axle before I even bought the car. OK i was just wondering if the new axle is going to increase the handling, thats all.

 

yeah it must work better than the one already owned

 

LOL, nice CS playing EDDIE

 

haha Skafia, very off topic.

 

hey guys, i was putting in a brand new axle and i put about a 1/2inch whole in the cv boot. Is there anyway to fix this or did I just ruin a brand new axle?

 

You need to purchase a new cv boot, some cv joint grease and a tool needed to install the clamp on the cv boot.

The tool I use looks like this:
