torn axle boot...

[ian_rex]

sirs, i need help. last saturday, i was checking my tire, since the air valve was leaking. when i'm finished checking, i found out that there is unusual grease on the back side of the mags, inspecting further, i found out that the axle boot was torn. how much ba ang mag palit nuon? (for civic 96). saka what would happen if i hadn't found it out? nai-ilang tuloy ako gamitin dahil baka i-tirik na lang ako nun basta. thanks for the help.

ian rex,
minor prob lang naman yan dont worry you can still drive sa suking talyer mo,
mura lang ang axle boot.

while you're at it pa check mo na rin mga bushings, arms, tie rod, repack bearings.

[ian_rex]

oo nga e. kaso ang problema ko kasi yung pambayad...hehehe anyway, nagtanong-tanong din ako, i will going to need velocity grease, to replace the old one kasi nag-spill e. saan ba nakaka-bili nun?

[speedyfix]

if you bring it to a talyer they will have it for you. shouldn't be more that 150 bucks.

ok lang naman yung prob mo pero wag mo patagalin kung kaya coz once may masira sa suspension the rest tend to follow.

goodluck having it fixed!

yeah have your axle boot fixed ASAP. mura lang yung boot, mura din ang grease. should not exceed 400 petot for everything (materials and labor).

if you don't have that axle cleaned and the boot replaced, dirt will get into your CV joint and destroy the joint. that will be MORE expensive (2000+ ang CV joint, wala pang labor dun, then you will need a wheel alignment after replacing the CV joint).

i have bought already. original farts este parts for my honda. it cost about 4000 bucks. hell, ganun talaga para tumagal saka, i-try to maintain yung car in pristne condition talaga. as in lahat except consumables, as much as possible, original lahat kahit nut na maliit pa yun. =>

Your car will probably be delighted and serve you more years to come.

aside from this axle boot, im also replacing the clutch na rin('clutch clatter'), kasi i figure out, since kakalasin din naman, bakit hindi pa isabay. kaya ayun, bibili na rin ako nung piyesa para sa clutch. im hoping that my ride will run good as new. hehehehe baka ngayong weekend. it's a good thing that my uncle was a mechanic, so bawas na ang gastos sa labor. =>

[speedyfix]

di naman binababa yung tranny when replacing the boots. pero if wala ka naman gastos on labor then why not?

[chieffy]

yun naman pala eh....may pwesto ba ang uncle mo?

[ian_rex]

akala ko ganun lang ka-simple magpalit ng axle boot. badtrip, ang hirap pala. kasi ang nasira dun sa ride ko e outer lang, pero ang ginawa namin last weekend, pati yung inner axle boot palit na rin, para sigurado saka walang ina-alala. yung clutch sinabay na rin kasi for the same reason, naka-kalas na e di palitan na rin. => saka sabi ng uncle ko, palitin na rin yung clutch kaya tamang-tama.hehehe. balik sa dati na ang hatak ng ride ko. malaki hinala ko, makakatipid na ulit ako sa gas, dahil nuon, para hindi mag-clatter kelang mataaas ang rpm bago umabante. i have yet to test it, hindi pa kasi na-test nang maige kasi last weekend lang ginawa e. to answer the last question, walang pwesto ang uncle ko. pero by profession, mechanic talaga siya. the legacy continues kasi ang lolo namin, mechanic din. => ang uncle ko din ang gumawa talaga ng kotse namin, kahit na nung buloks este volkswagen pa ang kotse namin (no offense sa mga may ari ng volks dyan, i was referring to the family car namin nuon).

damn, this time yung oil seal naman ang nasira. kakapalit ko lang, ng axle boots, ibababa yung transmission/differential assembly na naman kasi yung oil seal ng transmission sira na rin. how did i know, well akala ko ok na yung ride ko. then after a week, may napansin akong tumutulo. tine-trace ko hanggang sa may oil seal. ayun, bumigay na nga pati oil seal. sh..! buti napansin agad kungdi, baka transmission na ang palitan ko. badtrip talaga.

sana maging lesson ito sa mga merong FWD dyan. check everything. kasi it would save time and effort and money, kung regular ang check-up. ako regular naman e, kaya lang siguro talagang ganun, matanda na ang ride ko. 8 years na this april, almost 140K km na ang mileage. matanda na ba ito para sa inyo? what do think?

[yebo]

oks lang yan pards, bata pa yan. basta tuloy mo lang alaga mo, walang tumatandang ride sa marunong mag-maintain.

[ian_rex]

hehe. ang kaso ang wallet ko ang tumatanda. => anyway, meron bang nabibiling mga polyurethane bushings para sa mga honda? (as a replacement sa mga bushing ng mga pang ilalim) sira na yung bushings ko e. sa harap sa likod everything. lecheng NLEX yan o, grabe napabilis ang pagkasira ng mga pang-ilalim dahil grabe ang lubak.

[topgun]

it seeems dami mong cash man
hehehe axle boots are just rubber in my opinion pwede na replacement dyan

cost less than one half of the original boots

[benchph1]

bushings..for what specific model of honda bro? iba-iba yan..

tsaka medyo magiging harsh ang ride pag nag polyurethane ka...umiingay din daw siya in a year's time..not to mention ang mahal ng presyo nyan

[zero]

P180 ang kuha ko ng axle boot (replacement lang) sa auto supply, P100 naman yung special grease for this na nasa accordion tube.

[CLAVEL3699]

Yup mura lang axle boot saka yung grease nya yung labor 400 bucks.

I dont know kung mahal yun?

What do u think guys?

Ian said that may oil leak sya at ko din kasi meron sa LXI Civic ko pero hindi naman ganun kalakas parang nababasa lang yung ilalim.

Galing daw sya sa oil pan gasket. What do u think guys, kailangan ko na ba pacheck ito.

Di naman kasi bumababa yung level nang oil ko.

[ian_rex]

oo pa-check mo na yan. anyway, i was referring to the oil seal in the tranny. where the propeller shafts and tranny meets. up to now under observation pa rin kasi mukhang nasobrahan lang ako ng lagay ng transmission oil (engine oil ito ha).

[ian_rex]

ok, i have replaced the oil seals in the tranny. it almost bled my tranny to death. well looks fine, but will have to test it further.
