ok I think you guys convinced me to go fix it correctly, my next step is finding a mechanic which will do it for me at a reasonable price. is there a website or directory of mechanics for different states?

My old shop shirt (that I still wear) has our unofficial motto on it:
We do it right because we do it twice. We do it right because we do it twice. Allow me to present an alternative. You could just get: an el cheapo rockauto (or similar) halfshaft axle nut tube of grease 24" or better cheater bar (for the axle nut) 18" pry bar (to pop the halfshaft) and have that thing changed in a couple of hours. It's not a 100k mile halfshaft, but it's a hundred bones tops for all that, and you will be rolling again.

^ That's what I had to resort to. Found the ripped boot over the weekend and had a trip on Monday. I could only source a shitty $90 Napa axle (not that I would have spent the $700 for an OE had the dealer had one in stock on a Saturday). It lasted two years/40k before the boot failed.

Update:
took it to a Bimmer shop, he was impressed with my car, how nice it drives and it has absolutely no noise, he noticed the noise was because of my brakes, which are almost gone, he also said the axle is in perfect shape. he repeated completely perfect. it was good that I found out about the torn boot before it makes any damage to the axle. I will have my CV boots and brakes replaced at same time. so for other people who might google and find this thread. those kind of random noise from the wheel that goes away randomly might be from your brakes pad or brake rotors Last edited by shevin; 10-27-2016 at 03:32 PM. |
