VX in the shop

Do you think your lift had anything to do with this problem? I am debating lifting mine...but I don't want the associated trouble...

One day as I was turning it felt like the wheel was going to fall off. Ilook under the VX and see the cv boot is torn. I thought the joint was bad,but it showed no signs (clacking on turns) before this instance. So Iwas looking for a half axle.That was the the 4-6 weeks part. Don't need that as it turns out, I need a speed sensor in the transfer case and a boot. When the speed sensor is acting up it makes your differential act weird.That's why there was a weird kind of jerking. There are several threads on this subject. I told the dealer to read up on this site.I believe alot of times the sensor just needs to be cleaned. Those times for parts are all factory.I did look around the net and still found nothing. We can still find parts it just going to be a hassle.

The lift does pull on the boots a little. Mine are just old, 103,000 miles. The boots I replaced on the other side are fine. The rubber just gets brittle.On another note my wife has a 30 hour layover in Reno. I might fly up there. If I do I"ll give you a call. I still have your cell# unless it's changed. p.s. Some people use these Green Monsters ???? they are extra strong and longer boots so the don't get pulled on.

Sure thing man. Number is the same. Gimme a call if you are in town. We can meet up for some chow and drinks or whatever.

Scott,
I talked to you yesterday, and my advice is the same. No car payments and owning one of the coolest vehicles around. Nuff said.
Peace.
