I just replaced my left front CV joint - how much fun for Valentines Day
weekend is that?
If I would've had a girlfriend before this weekend I'm sure she would've
dumped me by now.  lol.

Anyhow, found the passenger side front outer boot is torn (so may need to
replace that joint as well).

Here's a photo link to the driver's side CV joint that I replaced before
total failure and it ain't pretty!

One bearing had fallen out (caught in what was left of the boot), and the
other one came out prior to removal and 1/3 of the outside of the cage is
missing. I made sure to make wide turns on the way home from work on
Friday...
