My axle boot is torn, why should I replace it?
Posted on 2/15/2019
Your axles have rubber boots on them and over time with any piece of rubber it deteriorates and the boot will crack and tear. When this happens it's time to replace your axle. Unfortunately the boot it's self is not replaceable typically because once the boot is torn dirt and debris can get into the grease causing damage to the internal parts of your axle. It can also cause noise and after a period of time all of the grease will come out and the axle will break.
If you have front end noise give us a call or request an appointment online and we will get you back on the road.

This can cause bigger issues with your engine
This could be causing your run-ability issues
They should be replaced on time.
A brake fluid leak is very bad.
This is a repair you don't want to put off
Stopping is as important if not more important than starting
Coolant is a vital fluid
Catastrophic damage is not normal
A water pump is a vital component
A little maintenance can prevent a big problem
