ok, to add to my injuries...

i check my car now (after i replaced the rotors) and there's this gooey green/black fluid near the joint, and all over the rims...near the rotors, what the hell is that??

anyone know? it's like brake fluid or something.

 

Green is generally anit-freeze. You either have a leak, overflow, or picked some gunk off the road (if you are lucky). But since you say gooey black. It may be grease from a blown CV joint.

 

Nah ................. Sounds too me like your axle boot ripped and the gunk went everywhere on the parts mentioned. (Dark Green Goo = Axle Grease).

 

yep thats it....apparently it flew everywhere damn it..

can i fix it myself or can i just take it to a shop? anyone know how much it would take?

 

Put in another axle. Replacing the boot isn't easy.

 

Yeah replacing the boot is a PIA. Sometimes replacing the boot is only a bandaid fix. Just go down to the local parts place and pick up an axle. It will save you time and maybe another headache down the road.

 

so front axle eh? bastards....stupid car grrr...^_^

thanks guys

anyways would i be in danger if i drive with the cv boot busted?

 

over a period of time yes
espically if its spitting cv grease everywhere
if it seizes youll break somthing.
i would fix it ASAP

 

DAMN , i'm at work right now...gotta drive 25 miles back home ...doh doh , is my car going to be OK? it just happened like...yesterday.

 

yea sounds like the CV joint busted. get it taken care of right away.
