sschmelcke Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 I think I replaced the cv boot and or axle on my 1991 FWD legacy about 6 times during 10 years of ownership wow so i guess that takes rc's opinion away about it being a owner issue.

CTATV Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 im not aware of any CV leakage on my car I was just under the car pretty recently looking around during an oil change... but we can def meet up some time. im taking class at quinnipiac all fall so i drive right to exit 26. I go to southington semi-regularly to see my engine builder. he used to live right across from the southington theater (the guy with all the dirtbikes etc infront of his house) but he moved like 5 minutes away from there up near exit 4 off 691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 yeah its usually a problem when you get higher mileage. i know where that house is. you ever go to that subaru repair shop across the street? i always see some ancient subarus outside. quinnipiac is a nice campus. my wife and her brother graduated from there a few years ago.

DukeTrout Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 My family has never had a FWD or AWD vehicle that has gone over 120k miles without a CV boot replacement. Inspect it early and often, and if it looks like it's going, get it replaced. I check the front CV boots with every oil change. Easy as pie. Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt!

underpowerd Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 speak of the devil, i checked mine today, and it looks like it's taking a dump -- guess my milage... the rubber still seems like it's in excellent pliable shape though ... but the dark greenish vomit on/around it looks like $$$ to me. i was under there not too long ago, and didn't see anything bad -- here's the question: how do i know how far it's gone, and what i will have to replace? *nm, i found a thread -- 'cv' is fun to search for * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeracer Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yup....Mines started to get a tear on the passenger front early in life too. I thought it was because I was lowered.

ehsnils Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Some shops will not replace axle boots. They replace the entire thing. I am not sure if that is going on with the OP or not. We replace just the boot if we catch it in time. I have worked for smaller shop that replace the axle and be done with it. Replacing the shaft seems to be a rip-off.

sschmelcke Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 ive done the shaft and the boot and it seems like you get more life out of a reman shaft. the boot works though and it is much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underpowerd Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 had my boot replaced today -- caught it in time thanks to this thread. even when you're in the bay a lot, the boot tends to stay out of sight/mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE_1985 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 my driver axle is currently clicking My family has never had a FWD or AWD vehicle that has gone over 120k miles without a CV boot replacement must have never owned a toyota, my 93 camry's axles started clicking at 175k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It also depends on the driver and driving conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 my driver axle is currently clicking must have never owned a toyota, my 93 camry's axles started clicking at 175k When it clicks, that means whoever has been servicing your car is not doing their job. You should catch that long before it clicks if they are looking it over.
