At least you don't have to worry about anything in the engine compartment rusting anytime soon.

That looks way too short. Are you sure they gave you the right sized one and did you compare it with the old one?

I agree, that rubber shouldn't show that much stretch.

We had to replace the left CV shaft in the '87 4 cyl we have and the boot did the same thing. Nothing has ever happened and it's been like that for months now. It was the right length too.

well.. its about time for an update...

bad news first.. i got stuck on a one way road, was turning around.. and some dumb BI#%H kept inching closer.. so i had to back up farther to get out.. then CLANK.. my exhaust hit the curb



under..


for now its like this.. right side is fine..


Looking good though!


Still to go in..


I put this in as a breather.. (and plugged the tube hole)


TOMMORROW i finally have time to attack the gremlins attacking my electrical system...

electrical problems thus far:
Horn doesnt work
radio not getting constant 12V
interior lights not working
oil pressure gauge pegged, but not connected?!
sometimes when i use turn signal, wipers go once ?

so ill get something tomorrow i hope.. if not.. ill just rewire stuff.
