    Very Upset: CD5

    I just had my oil and filter changed today and had a brief inspection.

    I need new tyres and apparently my CV boot is split open and there might be damage to the CV Joint on both sides of the front wheels.

    Lots of money for repairs.

    I have looked at a few places and I found tyres for $175 ea Achillies brand at F1 Tyre Warehouse.
    $35 for alignment, balance and check

    And for the CV boot/joint repair;

    Ultra Tune: $380 per side
    Pedders: $180 each side + $132 fitting

    Those tyres are expensive. What size are you running?

    If you just want cheap tyres, for stock rims, hit up Taleb.

    I'd make a few more calls on the suspension side of things, get as many quotes as possible. Haven't been there myself but have heard good things about Mermaid Suspension, give them a call and see what they reckon?

    the driveshaft BOOTS are gone , just replace them first ( around $50 a side incl. part and labour ) . Are you getting any noise / clicking while hard lock turning etc ?
