Howdy Guys and Gals, I'm resurrecting this zombie thread because I find my self in a similar predicament, but first a short story...
When winter was finally upon me up here in the great white north I noticed my VX was driving a lot worse than it did last year. At first I simply attributed it to worse road conditions than last year and that my tires just suck at snow.
Later on, driving up to the Ski hills in even worse road conditions I noticed that driving up hills was nearly impossible, any acceleration beyond a slow crawl on the steeper parts and my back end would slide out, that is when I started to suspect something was definitely wrong. I confirmed it later that day when I decided driving through a 2 foot tall embankment of snow would be a good idea and I damn near got stuck. I stuck my head out the window to see how the tires were spinning and sure enough, I wasn't getting any spin out of the front wheels, not even in 4 low...
Up until today I had no idea where the issue could be, my only clue/suspicion was that I had done some work on my CV joints and rebooted them a month or 2 before the first snow fall. I finally decided to do some more investigation and I just wanted to share with you a short video of what I found...

If you can't tell from the video the right CV boot isn't spinning at all so I think I found the problem LOL.
Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to look into the problem any further for another week due to work. In the mean time, what are y'alls initial thoughts on what might be going wrong in there?
