Either buy a new cv axle for like 100 bucks, take it out and reboot it. Plenty of videos on how to do it Personally id buy a new one as cheap as they are |
X2 on replacing the axle. If it slung enough grease out, there may be some damage to the joint that you won't be able to see.
|
either way it has to come out.. agree just replace it..
|
Can I drive on it until the spring?
|
If you can't fix it properly right now. Clean the area around the hole on the boot then cover it with some rtv

A the boot finally breaks open... B Starts clicking when turning But if im nkt crazy the cv axle on our trucks aren't rotating all the time only when in 4wd.. so your fine for now |
Like stated buy a new CV shaft when you can.
I bought an OEM Ford one for $250, but you can get aftermarket for under $100. Forget about replacing the boot only it's a PITA I tried it you need to disassemble the entire shaft, I gave up. IF I had to do it all over again, I'd probably just get the aftermarket because for 90% of driving your in 2WD, and the CV shaft doesn't even spin........... |
The only thing I could think is it could be my leveling kit I put on before the snow flew and then I had to throw it into four hi acouple times this winter already? I'm running a 2.5 rcx
