Noticed a loud metal to metal noise and thought my right front cv joint with a torn boot finally gave up.

Come to find out, the guilbo bolts have backed out and one bolt has fell off and causing the centering flange to hit the transmission case every rotation of the driveshaft.

Because the dealer is closed, I cant get the replacement bolts, I'm replacing the outer cv boot. It's a very messy job but not too difficult with the help of studying all the write ups here.

Good news, I thought I was going to have to replace the complete right cv joint, but it's only going to turnout to be a less than $20 job.
