Came in to post that WW2 bomber drone above 40mph is indicative of a bad wheel bearing. I did both a few years back.

Either get the entire axle Assembly or a replacement CV joint. Just a CV boot kit isn't going to help you.

I understand you want to keep the costs down. The labor to remove and replace the boots is more than just removing and replacing the entire assembly. If you think about it, for both jobs you need to remove the assembly. Then, if your doing the boots, there is the additional cost of that work.
If you look at ECS tuning or Pelican Parts you can get an entire assembly for about 80 each. They are not as good a quality and won't get you another 213k but will work for your time frame. Probably a couple of years. If your boots are good or you catch it early, then repacking with the correct grease and new boots on a high quality setup is the best solution. Typically the joints don't wear if they stay packed with grease, it's what occurs when they tear and get driven, such as your case, that destroys them. The cost to do the labor is the biggest variable. Can't help you there, my idea of reasonable is about $100/hr (California sucks in that regards). I would shop around, check that you can supply your own part. Many shops won't. If they do, know that they will not warranty the part.

what are other symptoms I should look out for other than, clicking noise and shaking? Another question is, what is the correct type of grease, is wheel bearing, high temperature grease good enough? I am planning to temporary grease it up and wrap it with an elastic band, and if I get any more symptoms I will just rpelace the whole shaft. because the mechanic over phone told me, if outter boots are torn, the inner boots will be torn sometime soon. |

You're in Minneapolis. In about a month you'll be in the shop getting the whole thing replaced when it's packed full of sand and salt.

Do it right or do it twice (or more often in OP's case)
don't be a cheapskate with these cars or just sell it

Or, when it breaks apart, the inner tube let's go and the axle breaks and he rolls the thing down a snowy ditch......f'n tool. I am out on this one. The most ridiculous thread I have seen in a long time. Rubber bands and inner tubes.....classic
