Unforntunate events led to CV boot torn

The unfornatuate events that led to me finding out my CV boot was utterly ripped all the way around this afternoon.

1. Bottom of Coilover adjuster thingy may not have been tighten all the way
2. A rainy night
3. Looked down from the road for a second
4. Hitting a big pothole at 40 mph straight on Friday night



Basically the bottom of the coilover adjuster thingy I assume got jarred loose from the pothole then ongoing vibrations from driving loosen it further and finally sat ontop of the shaft basically be a lathe and started chewing up the coilover piece.




Let this be a lesson to everyone... i now have zipties preventing the other side from coming dropping loose, at the very lease it will vibrate loose but not continue to loosen.

Now i have to wait / drive a 91 Corolla Wagon till the boot to arrive from TRD Sparks, I figure go OEM.

I HOPE this all happened friday night, theres no sound from turning after i fixed the coilover thing.
