Default I did a little peeking/checking under the car last night...
and noticed that the passenger's side CV boot is cracked.

a.) Is this normal but can wait?
b.) Is this a call for replacement ASAP?
c.) Do I have to wait for it to crack open where I can see grease before replacing?
d.) If cracked, how much longer before it wil crack open?
e.) None of the above

Default Re: You wanna fix it right away before dirt gets in there; otherwise...
...you'd have to remove axel, clean the CV in parts cleaner, re-grease it and THEN put a new boot on.
