Yesterday I found a front outer axle boots has split (98 Forester L). I haven't had a chance to get under it and take a close look, but I *think* the axle is still OK.
I looked through the manual last night - looks like pulling the while thing apart would take me more time than I can spend on it right now 8(
I'm handy, but not a master mechanic - is there an easier way to replace an outer boot?
We've got another car, and can get by without using the Forester as a commuter. It probably WILL have to do grocery/home depot runs before I can get to it though. Is there a "quick boot" kit that will fit the Forester? If the axle's still good, I'd rather pay for a band-aid than risk burning it.
Thanks!
