How can you temporarily fix a broken CV joint boot?
I have an old car that I don't want to spend too much money on. It has broken CV boot. I can hear the da-da-da-da noise when turning at large angle and at low speed. The cost of replacing the joint and boot is $400 to $500. I wonder if it's possible for me to put lubricant inside and use some tapes to temporarily c... 13 Jun 2010 11:37
