Hi gang, My 98 Legacy L auto AWD has the front passenger inner CV boot torn. It's very recent - within 500 miles as I had just inspected this area last weekend. Joint itself is not making noise (yet) So the questions are... Replace just the boot? If so reco on the manufacture? Googled and fo..
« Lots of folks will say replace the complete axle. I don't adhere to this. I just clean the joint and install new boots. My 95 wagon with nearly 200K miles is still running all its original axles. »
« Thanks John, I saw some posts on other groups advocating the Napa "split boot" so the shaft doesn't have to be removed. In your opinion should I consider this or is this something to keep away fr.. »

« I recommend to mark all the relative positions of the components in the joint, disassemble, clean thouroughly, inspect it and reassemble using the Subaru kit. Do not forget to lubricate the insid.. »

Hi, Today I had my oil changed and the tranny fluid flushed. They noted that the right inner CV clamp was leaking grease. I guess they said the boot(s) were OK though. I guess the clamp is about $5.00 but they mentioned maybe needing 2 hours to replace it at like $250+ just in LABOR?!?!?! They a..
« @s48g2000cws.: i cant say if you have a boot clamp leaking or not BUT, you could actually use a worm clamp w/out removing the halfshaft. the price you mentioned sounds like they want to r&r the sh.. »
« Look inside the wheel well, and if you don't see several tiny specs of grease or spots of oil and the boot doesn't look split or cracked, you probably just need to tighten the inner clamp. Most shop.. »

Want to remove the half shaft to replace the inner CV boot. Need to remove the front hub nut on the front wheel, right? This nut is held on the shaft with what looks like a key slot with part of the nut is crimped into the key slot keeping it from coming loose. Do you need a special tool to "un..
