I have a greasy leak in the area of the front right CV Boot on my 99 Forester. After cleaning up the area I found the boot to be torn. I have quite a bit of experience with cars and had a couple of questions.

 

Is the torn boot the only problem here or is there a seal involved. How difficult of a job is this. are there any special tools required? Any help would be great. Thank you. John

Outer CV boot isn't too bad to replace. Only thing you need to make sure of is that the joint is still fine. If it hasn't been torn long and there is still a lot of grease in there it should be ok. Just do a search for CV boot replacement on the net to find out more specific details. I don't believe there's anything special about replacing the boot on a subaru.

 

Good luck.
