Front Popping Noise CV Joint/Boot?
I have a front popping noise when I turn a certain way, and after taking it back to the house, I found my CV Boot was torn (my fault there, ran over a big tree limb right before the popping started) and noticed grease all aound it...The popping noise scares me because I am concerned if I need to replace the CV joint or hopefully just the CV boot. What do you guys think?? Thanks in advance!!

Front Popping Noise CV Joint/Boot?
Well that is a relief...Now all I need to do is to goto a dealer and get a CV boot. If I am correct, it should include the boot, 2 clamps and grease. Do you guys have any other suggestions on where or what boots to get?? Thanks in advance, I greatly appreciate it!!

Hey Bur....and others...
I think I have the same problem as you. I noticed that I had a problem when I had problems steering. When I was coming to a stop my wheels would turn in the direction of the torn boot. Also, when the machine was stopped SOMETIMES I could not turn the wheels fully to one side and when driving on pavement the wheels would SOMETIMES shimmy back and forth. Obviously there is a problem. Did you have any similar problems like these? I hope my diagnosis is not worse than yours.....If the CV joint is shot does anyone have any ideas as to how much they cost?
Thanks to all for the help.

12pointbuck: I do not have the same problem as you do, it sounds like one wheel get stuck in 4wd mode...When this happens I just put it in reverse and then back into drive. It works for me...But I could be wrong on your case...From my understanding, a cv joint cost approximately $150...

Front Popping Noise CV Joint/Boot?
I just replace my scrammy cv joint boots this weekend. I bought the gorrila pvc boot kit. It comes with everything you need. Getting the clamps tight is a pain in the a$$. I cleaned my cv joints out with brake cleaner and a bunch of rags. I would clean it up and regrease it and see if it still makes the noise. It's probably just dry from the ripped boot and water that got in there.
