Re: Is it toast?

Took the driver's side tire off to inspect the CV on that side (it was making 
the noise from this side)....it's firmly attached to the engine end, but was 
a limp wrist on the wheel end...it hasn't broken out of the boot yet, but it 
is definately not connected to the wheel any longer.  There was also a 
quarter sized puddle of grease on the upper portion of the boot.

I hope it's just the CV.  I've kept a close eye on the diff and the 
transmission fluids.

BTW---the damn jack kept collapsing as I would give the lugs the final twist 
to take the wheel off...I've never had that happen before (twice!)

Fortunately, no damage was done from this...
