LEAKAGE. Do not know wur its coming from

Yeah, I check my boots regularly for any signs of tearing or cracking. I think I have been lucky thus far. I probably should order a set of boots and keep them on hand so when mine do eventually go, I have all the needed stuff to get this repair done quickly.

Sounds like a plan.

I'm a tad confused. Since the Proton was lifted by PO, I have no basis for determining stock from OEM. I'm starting to think that my crossmember is aftermarket (Calmini). Does anyone have a pic of a stock crossmember that I can use for comparison. Or can someone look at the crossmember pix in my gallery & tell me if it's aftermarket?

Hi Tom

Doesnt look like a Calmini Crossmember...at least not like mine!

I have one fitted ,and its a one piece fabrication with no welded ends.

BTW...while checking my Crossmember...I discovered a newly torn CV boot...:eek:

I'm glad you asked the question!!!

Joe,

Thanks for checking. LittleBeast indicated that mine is definitely not OEM. The crossmember has 1 1/2" drop brackets installed in those pix so those weld lines are not part of the aftermarket crossmember. Wish I'd taken some pix before install. I should find out this week if the drop brackets will work with the OEM crossmember.

Bummer about the CV boot. Are you next on the diff drop list?

Tom

I didnt know there was a list...
