Default Found this today..Need advice

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/106838/wheel43_kevcpa4_008.jpg"></center><p>Looked over a few things on the car today and found that the Outer cv boot on driver side is torn in half. I cannot not see where all the grease went. Its all clean in there cept for the grease still on the axle inside the boot left over. Should I just replace both outer boots since one is gone?
Also, can I replace only the bushing on the upper control arm? I looked at it and it too is torn/cracked but the arm looks fine. Are the two bushings for the upper control arms the same??

Thanx a bunch.

The boots looks torn, the arms will need to be repalced.

Default You should ideally replace both of those arms on both sides...

...of the car.

Don't mess with pressing the bushes and joints - you'll only be back there later!

Best wishes,

Ram
