Hey guys,

Was changing my oil this arvo and noticed that my front driverside front driveshaft boot is in a word GONE. What would i need to fix this issue. You'll understand better when you see the pics.

I'm in need of a passenger side inner boot if you find an aftermarket or oem part to fit. There are wraparound ones you can temporarily use if you get stuck.

That one is certainly the worst I have seen, did you find the boot?

Sorry to see that Josh,

I probably don't need to tell you, but get it seen to pronto. I was a tight ass and left the boots cracked and separated for a few thousand kms on a honda. Instead of costing me a few hundred, it cost me a lot more because the uni joints went. The click on turning/accelerating sound that you get from worn unis.

Yeah im not driving it till I get it fixed. Crap timing as I was bout to drive it to cairns on friday for a holiday now I have to take the missos corolla seca.

That's the same one as failed on mine. I used these aftermarket ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/220865687512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

You just need to specify the size you need at each end (~75mm & 27mm) & they'll send it to you within 1 or 2 days, at least it arrived that quick for me.

The boot was a couple of mm bigger than it could have been but the stainless ties held it OK (so I was told by the mech who put it in for me).

Hard to fit leon? Thats great news thanks for the link. Do you know what your measurement was by any chance?

I decided the same thing. Only bought the CV boot so I could get it done in my timeframe rather than waiting for the mechanic to order it in. The good thing about you being in Brisvegas is your specialist with most likely have one on the shelf

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
