Default CV boot torn...please advise!!
Hi guys, I was hearing a "chattering" noise coming from the front wheel well while taking slow turns, so I took my car to the dealer. They said that the driver's side outer CV boot is torn up and needs to be replaced.

Can anyone recomend a GOOD place that will do the job just as well for LESS money than the dealer? PLEASE help me out if you can, as I am short on cash and would like to fix it soon without spending dealer pricing. I've heard that if I don't fix this soon, I might deal with bigger problems in the near future, so I should fix it asap right?

Pretty much any place is cheaper than the dealer.

and my guess is, you'll need a new CV joint AND boot (b/c of the rattling)

Default The audi gods spared my CV joint but I had to replace a boot
not a bad DIY, but yeah I wouldn't send a n00b in to do it....and wear clothes you're prepared to throw away, that's a dirty job.

Default Happened to me too, but my pit crew took care of it.
Thats what I call the dirty mechanic down the street that does work really cheap.

If the CV joint is making clicking sounds is it already too late to replace the boot and lube it?
