    Common repair. Replace boot and repack with grease. CV joint is probably okay.

    Thanks 2NA, will try to find out if CV is ok. When I'm driving/turning I don't hear any clicks. I hope its just the boot, new shaft is 1,600$

    There's no reason to replace the shaft. Even if the joint is worn out, it's not an "expensive" part. It's a messy job and requires a few tools that not everyone has but if you're a serious DIYer it's possible.

    Make sure to clean out all the old grease as it is probably sand "infected" by now. Even a little sand left behind will eventually grind the joint to bits.

    Looks like I have the same problem.

    Where can I find the rebuild kit or at least a new boot set?

    Also, can this be causing a whining type sound in high gear with no load on the wheels?

    Thanks!

    I thought the car used 911 axles. I understand the 911 Boots work..
