cap86 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) I've found a lot of references to replacing boots and checking CV joints etc but can't find out how to get a boot on or what to check for. How can you tell if it's still good, how much grease do you pack into it and how do you get a boot on / do you dismantle it? if so how... any write-ups available?

Greenley Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) This guy put some effort into his post: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showpost.php?p=592502&postcount=3 For the more visually inclined, How To Keep Your Subaru Alive has an awesome walk through. I suggest downloading the .PDF or buying a copy on your favorite auction site. Edited May 10, 2009 by Greenley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cap86 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) OK next quextion. Replacement boots cost $5.... $15.... and $40 (+/-) online. $40 = Dorman $15 = EMPI $5 = Ohno (!?) (is that name trying to tell us something?) is there a difference in quality / results? is there a difference in Material Also if the old boot looks good (i.e. never torn) is it ok to just squeeze in some more grease (if so what kind) and put new boot on. or remove all old grease and replace with new. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh and one more thing. MWE gives $25 core charge but shipping has got to be around $25 right? why bother Edited May 11, 2009 by cap86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
