Has anyone experienced noise or vibration coming from the wheels? Just looked under car and found ripped CV boots. Has anyone replace theirs? How hard is it?

 

New axle is $50 - $100 depending on where you get it from (not including stealership) - remove wheel, remove axle nut, if its the passenger side axle, remove the three bolts for the mid-bearing support, disconnect tie-rod from steering knuckle, remove axle. Install in opposite order. Get a haynes or chiltons manual. It will save you a ton of time and money, and keep you alive by doing the maintenace correctly. Hope you have a big breaker bar the axle nut.

 

does anybody know if 2k2-2k3 axles are available now? last year when I checked, most stores didn't carry them...they said it's a dealer only item and i still have to give it time until 3rd parties start making them...
