Every two months or so, turn the steering wheel all the way to the side the old outer boot is still on. This will both expose the outer joint boot and spread the corrugations so as to display any cracking. This way you can inspect the boot without having to get underneath the car. Once the cracks get to about 1/8" deep, get the boot replaced. Waiting until it splits is not smart. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
