went to go wash the truck and noticed a little problem...lol

the band that hold the boot on is gone, and looks like a missing bearing on the cv joint
what do i need to get to fix it, part numbers/names?
I am far from a mechanic any help would be greatly appreciated

 

holy ****...you need to replace that cv axle...i bet that makes horrible noises when you drive it...how did it break?

BTW, do you have the RCD CV axle spacers installed?

 

do I need to buy the whole axle?

It realy dont make much noise its is just laying on the lca spinning but you cant hear it

yes I do have the spacers in

 

you shouldn't drive it like that, just that CV axle needs to be replaced not the entire axle

 

Yeah, you will need to replace that CV axle.

 

Too bad you aren't closer. We could put a new one on in probably 20 to 30 minutes max.

 

Yeah I'd help you with it Koyn, but I sold my spares to Casey a couple months ago, otherwise I'd just let you have it.

 

thanks for the info guys, I looked at all the part stores here and nobody had on in stock, (the stealership part store is already closed)

 

That doesn't surprise me. The parts stores here rarely have anything I need in stock.

 

any junkyards around? you could definitely get it for cheap there!

 

^im not a big fan of jy parts...try going to napa and get a price on one napas usually is prolly resonable
