Hello Scotty and everyone,
I had my tires changed recently and while I was spraying the TP205 on the rubber boots on the wheel's shafts I noticed one looked oily, pushed in and broken. I'm not sure if the metal seals are rusted and broken or what. I have attached a pic of the questionable wheel boot. What on Earth should I do?
Stay safe,
That’s the CV axle, isn’t it?
Yes, it's on the front right.
Replace both sides and do it NOW!
If dirt gets in there , you'll have way bigger problems to deal with
The other side is fine but I will replace this one.
It seems that replacing the entire axle is about the same or a little more in price than replacing the boot with grease! lol
Are there any tears or cracks on the boot?
The first pleat (in the image) seems to be cracked/torn.
I'm not sure but I believe the first pleat might be torn, the way it's pushed in.
