Hi-

Bought this new car and was looking under the car after lifting the front end up. Stuts are shot and we are hearing a noise when slowing down and any time car makes sudden moves or bounces. So as we were looking under we seen the drive shaft boots on both sides are torn in half. What problem does this cause and how do I fix it?

Thanks

Hello,

I would high recommend replacing both CV Axles. Some place will recommend just replacing the boots. I don't because the chance of them going back is greatly increased when a boot is torn. Because of road debri getting into the axle joints and wearing the bearings.
