JMstamford,ct
It is on the passenger side, external CV joint. It looks like the boot was mounted a little skewed from the factory which created stress. It ripped at some point recently.
There is greas all over the inside circumference of the wheel. The good news is that it looks clean with debris on it. So it must not have happened too long ago.
So now how to fix. I read Pedro's instructions. I read the Pelican site. The job doesn't look TOO bad?
But I would typically replace the whole CV joints and all - just to be safe. But the Cost is almost $900 just for the part. And just for one side. There seem to be other options on Amazon and ebay, but of what quality?
I have decisions to make.
