A little C/V advice?

[JoFotoz]

Depending on how long the boot was bust...

Can you take out your existing half shaft and have it rebuilt? If so where?

It wasn't making noise but the boot was ripped and it was full of crap when I bought my VX.

...and what kind of crud was in there, it may not need rebuilding IMO.

I've worked on several VX's that have driven for a while with busted boots...
...and the grease was mostly gone, with what was left being ALL kinds of dirty.

A real good clean out..check the balls and races for uneven wear/dings etc...
..and ya might just be OK.

Jo, Im not sure you would want to take pics of my VX, its rough compared to most.
Got my CVs ordered and my master rebuild kit for my transmission. Ive got all my tools packed into my van and its ready to ship over to the BI. Once we get there and set up Ill start putting in work on the VX. Get her back in proper shape then throw some big *** tires under her. After pricing and shipping tires Ill just go down to Costco in Kona and get some rubber there. You pay more in shipping than you can save.
Thanks for all the help guys, your knowledge is gold.
