    So today I finally got off me bumm and decided to do my boots. I found Billy's write up on the replacement and had at it.

    Well come to find out that the boots I ordered are too big. About 1/4 inch too big on the large side of the outer. I was not happy to say the least. Since they are an order item I couldnt get it done today. I wound just pulling the CV's out all together, because the driver outer is now torn.

    I am gonna order the ones for the inner since it seems to fit both the outer and the inner and is a bit longer (maybe will last longer as a result). While I was down there I saw all the loose heat shield parts and found a little rats nest on top of the transfer case. Also my transfer case is a little leaky. I was not a happy camper on saturday....

    Well I will be ordering the Machatech's I suppose cause the boots I ordered from Kragen were all wrong. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Well I hopped on the freeway to see if I heard that damn noise at high speed with the axles out. I got to speed, turned off the radio, listening as I let off the gas and all I heard was tires and nothing else.

    So basically my axles are bad as well as the boots. A coworker has recommended a mechanic the works mostly on axles and drivelines. I suppose I should call him and see what he has to say.

    I am in the process of selling my motorcycle, if that goes through I guess I will spend my money on this problem.

    Life sucks....

    Hmmm, I didn't know you had a bike. I wonder if Ascinder could shed some light on your problem...

    That does suck.
