CV Boot replacement
Ploutos 5 April 2005 21:19:23
	Yesterday my cv boot ripped open and splattered its grease all over the exhaust manifold and engine. My questions are: How much is reasonable for someone to charge to replace/repack the boot. How should I clean this stuff off. It stinks! Thanks!

	I had the same problem and it was taken care of by the dealer (under warranty) as it is known problem on Outback/Legacy (I guess Forester as well) models. From this web site: http://www.toad.net/~rrubel/bulletin.html#Anchor30816 _Too-thin CV-joint grease. This is NOT a recall, but enough complaints have occured that I thought I'd mention it. Symptoms are smoke and a burning smell from under the hood on some 1998 Outbacks and Foresters. The cause is improper DOJ (CV joint...) grease, which is too thin and melts at lower-than-desired temperatures, leaking onto the exhaust and vaporizing. Subaru will fix this under warranty, and it is not a safety issue, though driving your CV joints dry will destroy them._ Good luck, Voja ploutos wrote: Yesterday my cv boot ripped open and splattered its grease all over the>exhaust manifold and engine.

Had a failure several months ago and as usual did the job myself. The inner boot was $20 from one of the large chain auto parts stores. Took close to an hr to repair. Even with experience I would be surprised if the shop could make the repair in less than 30 mins. This is a job a home mechanic ca do without and special tools needed. Requires a large socket, a 1.25" or metric eq and a pair of retainer ring pliers. The strut has to be removed from the spindle and take note that the upper bolt used to attach the strut to the spindle is an eccentric one that is used to adj the camber. Cleaning the old grease off the parts is the dirty part of the job. Mickey

Was the $100 shop replacing the boot or installing a rebuilt shaft? When getting up to the $200 range I would expect nothing less than a rebuilt shaft and possibly a new one. Purchased a rebuilt half shaft for my Nissan a couple yrs ago for <$50.
