CV joint gaitor loose

[h4mza]

Not my pic but got same problem, took wheel off to clean ABS sensor as light is on but saw black grease all over inside the wheel then had a look at CV joint and saw where the grease is coming from. The rubber gaiter has come off lose and I don't think I saw boot clip that holds it together. Would it be simple as pushing gaiter back in and put a clip around it or is there another way to fix?

Yeah anything like that. Long as it's not full of grit and crap. Make sure it's loaded up with grease. Sorted.

To be honest, the damage has already been done, the grease has gotten out, and dirt has gotten in, it'll only be a matter of time before it starts knocking, so either replace the C.V. Joint or replace the shaft. J+R do shafts for 35 quid so you can't go wrong with them.

To be fair that's a good shout.

Not bad quality with Jr

Thanks, would a second hand driveshaft be ok or is it better to replace with new one?

[KiNK43]

Well ya could do but as mentioned Jr drives hats are like 35-40 quid.

Likely pay 30+ for decent used

Thought I'd get lucky and get one for £20 but anyways I'll look around, if not then I'll get new.
