My passanger side inner CV boot, isnt ripped or damaged or anything... but has a leak... a small one... everytime i look underneath , i see a drop of brown grease hanging off...
anyways...its leaking right at the edge where the boot stops and the metal rod (axle?) touches the boot. past the metal ring clamp..... im guessing the clamp isnt making a nice seal...
question is... is it possible to replace that clamp or tighten it?.... if so how?...
none of my other boots are damaged or leaking.

I know a lot of people have done it but I wanna ask anyway, I am in Miami and and getting the Altima Se-R rims. I was wondering what would be a good tire to run. I see people talking about offsets and things like that so it kind of throws me off, Just want to get good tires and not worry about my spedo

Hi I was wondering what do you do when the Crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer?) bolt does not want to come out. are there any special trick or tips that make it easier. And is it Clockwise or counter? I have been hitting it with a rattle gun for the last hour and the bolt just doesnt want to let go?!

do some research... I wouldn't go any lower than progress which is 1.8 IIRC. Anything more than that and even progress you may see some bumpsteer. As for speed bumps theres a possibility

Yes you can reclamp it. Only issue is it takes a special clamp and tool to do it properly, And you have to wonder about how much grease has been lost? Should the joint be regreased? There is no way to know. The proper fix would be to replace the boot and regrease the joint or replace the complete cv axle which would be easier but may cost a bit more.
im going to go with the reclamping option.. whats the name of this tool?.... and how do i do it? would a shop be able to do it for cheap?
ill replace the axles when they start to click... when ever that may be.
#4741
Any shop will have the tool. YOU would be better off letting them do it.
#4742
Where would be a good place to find these springs? I have been looking at a few diffrent sites and ebay and alot of them say 2" drop..

After doing more research i guess i dont really know what I'm talking about. I want the car to be lowered, so that handeling improves and looks. However I will be driving the car everyday so I dont want it to be to stiff of a ride. I also only want to spend a couple hundred.... The question is what should I go with?

Hello,
I am a little worried about my car in regards to white smoke coming out of the exhaust after the car is at normal running temps. It doesn't seem to do any when im driving its when im just at a red light/stop sign & its not a lot just a little bit floating up. Its a 2k1.

Anyone ever try Sylvania's silver star bulbs in their fog lights as a cheaper alternative to HIDs? The idea hit me walking through Autozone the other day, and they make the correct size bulbs, and claim to produce a brighter whiter color (~4000k). I'm not expecting a tremendous increase in brightness, but hopefully it'll come close to matching the color that the stock HID's produce. Does anyone have any input on this? Or should i just suck it up and go for the HID fogs.

Well, between '98 and '00 the body of the Maxima changed. So, if it's not 100% same, you might need to modify something a bit to make it fit, but you should be able to get it done. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant...
