    Called to Iraq...Please help!

    I injected grease into the CV boot. I would say it is about half full. I used rubber goop sealer, and smeared it all over it. It is air tight. I'm going to get some heavy grease, and just smear it on the knuckle by hand, and since Im driving straight, I wont be using the steering much.

    Called to Iraq...Please help!

    ok, I took off the tire and looked closer. The CV boot is ripped only a little. All the grease came from another boot behind the strut. I believe it is for steering. What is this, how important is it to fix, and could my car make it the 1200 mile trip home? I'm going to return the axle if I...
