Okay so after getting really pissed about this little noise on my car I ended up taking it to my Local Mechanic and he said that that it was the rear axle bearing that was making the noise.( i already checked and it wasnt to my knowledge ) so im replacing it regardless. Also he discovered a torn boot on the passenger front.

Is it bad driving with a torn boot. Also, how much does it cost to replace it and could anyone give me a link to it?

 

torn boot? like a cv axle boot? if so buy it from like autozone they come with a lifetime garuntee.

 

^ Yes sir. Do you know how much they are? Is it bad to drive around with it torn?

is that what i need...

 

buy the whol axle. take yours of and take it down and you get a new one for 60$ with lifetime garuntee

 

oooo sweet. Awesome, thanks =)

 

Okay.. So I went on the website.. And I dont understand the "Left and Right" is it looking at the front of the car or sitting in the driverseat?? lol. Not that I will buy it off a website.

 

Also, is it difficult replacing an axle??

 

What tools do you have to work with? With the right tools, changing an axle is pretty simple. If you have an impact gun and sockets (impact sockets, not chrome) and basic hand tools (ratchets, sockets, deep-well sockets, extensions, etc) you should be fine.

And for car parts, "left" and "right" are always used as if you're sitting in the driver's seat.

 

I talked to my local mechanic and he agreed to let me help with the replacing of the axle. I want to do it with a trained professional before i tackle it alone. I would hate to mess something up as me and my dad both have never done axles. lol. no pun intended hahahaha
