Hey guys,

Was changing my oil this arvo and noticed that my front driverside front driveshaft boot is in a word GONE. What would i need to fix this issue. You'll understand better when you see the pics.

I'm in need of a passenger side inner boot if you find an aftermarket or oem part to fit. There are wraparound ones you can temporarily use if you get stuck.

That one is certainly the worst I have seen, did you find the boot?

Sorry to see that Josh,

I probably don't need to tell you, but get it seen to pronto. I was a tight ass and left the boots cracked and separated for a few thousand kms on a honda. Instead of costing me a few hundred, it cost me a lot more because the uni joints went. The click on turning/accelerating sound that you get from worn unis.

Yeah im not driving it till I get it fixed. Crap timing as I was bout to drive it to cairns on friday for a holiday now I have to take the missos corolla seca.

That's the same one as failed on mine. I used these aftermarket ones: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/220865687512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

You just need to specify the size you need at each end (~75mm & 27mm) & they'll send it to you within 1 or 2 days, at least it arrived that quick for me.

The boot was a couple of mm bigger than it could have been but the stainless ties held it OK (so I was told by the mech who put it in for me).

Hard to fit leon? Thats great news thanks for the link. Do you know what your measurement was by any chance?

I decided the same thing. Only bought the CV boot so I could get it done in my timeframe rather than waiting for the mechanic to order it in. The good thing about you being in Brisvegas is your specialist with most likely have one on the shelf

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
