Next issue it can be the messiest job you ever do its just part of the game... I cut the inner boot off witness mark orientation of the shaft to the outer bell/joint, pull the shaft out remove the cross cut the outer boot off install the new outer boot install the inner boot and put the shaft back in the inner...
I charge well for this the list price of a new aftermarket shaft believe it are not its not a big money maker... Price a honda shaft sit down first...[/quote]
Thanks, Hobo. I appreciate the detailed info. I'll save it to a word file so I have it. Not a stranger to this work, but been awhile. Back when I had a subaru Brat, remember those--they still sold kits to rebuild the cv joints. The "spider assembly" I think they called it. The ONE TIME I did it it turned out great, did a new boot and all and of course the innards. Must have been 20-something then.
For the struts, I'll go with aftermarket, just have to be careful with what's out there. That's pretty obvious now. I guess the big names I'm used to aren't what they used to be. I'll do some research, talk to parts guys, they know what's coming back because it didn't last. For prices, here's a comparison: Needed a drive shaft to get the car through our state inspection. A little bit of play at the U-joint. This is the rear shaft, the long one that goes to the rear differential. Priced it at Honda just for laughs. $1700--plus. Bought a new one on Ebay, no problems, smooth with no vibration. Excellent fit. Delivered, $140. I appreciate all the info, will check back with any progress. Been slow going, no one ever accused me of being speedy.
