the boot on the front driveshaft, up against the transfer case, has a nice tear in it... I have dont a little bit of research so far and it looks like I either have to replace the whole shaft, or try and rebuild the CV joint.
anyone else have any experience with this situation, I would rather not drop 3-500 dollars on a new shaft if i can help it. are the CV rebuilds worth it?
right now there is no noticeable noise from it, do i just ride it out until it gets worse/ or breaks/ or is this a semi-immediate attention type of thing.
:shrug: maybe fill it with grease best i can and wrap it with electrical tape :hmm:
