So today as I was bringing in my car for an inspection at my friends place. I had to go home first, and on the way home on the freeway i heard a clank, like something buckeled. The driving was fine, I got home and parked it. So now i'm ready to head out to get the inspection, I sit in the car, start it up, and try to turn left. And what do ya know? I think i lost my power steering!! Turns out, two bolts that go onto the rack under the car came out! WTF!!!!

so my friend's uncle gets some bolts for me and bolts it up. and we check out under the car, and I come to find that my left boot, that thing behind the wheel is ripped!! F%#K ME IN THE GOAT ASS!@#!@ I hear its pretty expensive to replace that..

if it's just the boot thats rip.. it easy to replace... I recommend buying the CV-Boot at a Honda Dealership b/c they'll give you the boot along w/ grease, spindle nut, and 2 circle clips... and it costs $29.99... well here in CA thats how much it costs..

its a messy job i'll tell you and I'd recommend an extra set of hands...

i was thinking about what Qveon said, that sounds good for temporary.. I think its the CV boot, it looks likea plunger thingy.. AHHA
