knocking while turning?

[idylan123]

so wen i was lowering my car i noticed my cv boots were torn and there was grease and ish everywhere. a few days later, about a week or so, afterwards i started noticing this knocking whenever i turned left. would these problems be related? if so how can i/how much is it to fix.

thanks in advance!

Yea man its cv joints 4 sure anytime a boot goes its not long your start hearing that unmistakeable knocking cause the joint has lost all lubrication and when they get dry its bye bye cv joint about 80 to 100 bones or so for a reman at autozone or advance.Also u will need a 36mm socket to get the axle nuts off, they are a bitch.The rest is cake drop ur lower balljoint take ur lower shock mount bolt out slide old halfshaft out new one in. You will get the whole thing at the parts place I mean both cv joints on one halfshaft its sold as a unit.Good luck.
