CV Joint Boot - Driver's Side - Toyota Yaris Forums

DebbyM46227 · 09-27-2015, 07:44 AM

It's the Toyota dealer I bought it from that says my boot needs replaced. They had a special on synthetic oil changes - otherwise I'd never taken it there yesterday. Today I'll try to look at it myself by turning the wheel. Being female, I'm not into jacking it up or fixing it myself.

Unfortunately there are no shops open for car repair here on Sunday.

As far as hitting something on the road, I'm very careful when driving. I started a new job in June and it's on the southwest side of Indianapolis, which seems inundated with trucking companies and gravel-hauling dump trucks, in addition our city dump is there. And lots of railroad tracks I have to cross. These trucks have destroyed the roads I have to drive on to get to work, and it doesn't help that I have to deal with White River and there are limited streets I can use to cross the river. I avoid pot holes when driving but the railroad tracks I can't avoid and I cringe every time I have to cross one.

I hope the bad roads didn't cause this, if I truly have a torn boot.
