A month after the passenger side front outer CV joint boot tearing, and having it replaced, yesterday I noticed grease on the driver's side front wheel... checked underneath.. and sure enough the driver's side CV boot was completely ripped open. Grease slung on everything.
X is in today getting a new boot kit. I'm having them go ahead and replace the front suspension strut arm bushings. They check for play and three of the four bushings are shot. Also three of the ball joints are very loose as well. Looks like we'll be replacing the entire set of arms.
With the CV boot work... $1,700. Oye!
