My trailblazer developed a vibration in the front end recently, along with a swoosh-swoosh sound most noticeable around left turns. Started analyzing underneath and the large clamp on the inner CV boot is completely gone and there is grease EVERYWHERE lol. Not sure where the clamp went, it was there not long ago when I checked things over But I think the joint is pretty well shot already, it's original with 130k on it anyway, so I'm just ordering a cardone from Rockauto. Strange how the brand new one is cheaper than the rebuilt one :crazy:
Anyway, I've been searching and reading on how to do the replacement. My Haynes manual goes as far as removing the entire shock assembly and everything, but from what I understand from reading on here that isn't necessary. But everything just says to "remove the half shaft" after freeing it from the hub - am I missing something? Does it just simply pull straight out of the front differential?
