I did my brakes today and I see my right axel boot is torn. Can I replace the boot or do I need to do the whole axel? It makes no noise.
And my right upper ball joint is loose. For the age of the truck, I know the bushings are probably junk. Should I just by the whole control arm with bushings and ball joint?
Should I do both upper and lower control arms on both sides? Truck has about 190,000km's.
The best way to do the upper ball joint is by replacing that upper arm. Do them both. I don't know if the CV boot can be replaced by itself, I'd just replace the entire axle. It's an easy job with a 36mm socket and an impact gun. Call the DMax store and see if they'll give you a good deal on a package.
I would check all bushing and ball joints and replace what is needed, unfortunately I think it's cheaper and easier to replace the axle as opposed to boot. Should be easy to change the axle.
That same moog uca is 67 from rock auto. Just installed 2 yesterday on my truck. They also sell moog lca's but those are 170ish so I just did lower ball joints
