What Has Broken On My S2 C34 Stagea?

[Hanso]

Hi,

As the topic title says, please see the attached photos to see what has broken on my S2 C34. I am a mechanical numpty, but it looks expensive to me. Found it this morning after my trip up to QLD. It is the rubber boot near the swaybar. Grease seems to have exploded out of it.

Can anyone shed some light onto what looks to me has exploded? And if anyone could recommend a workshop preferably in the Hornsby / Pennant Hills area, that would be great.

Cheers,

Adam

mate thats your drive shaft. not an uncommon fault on any vehicle. nothing major just need the boot replaced. any mechanic worth their salt should be able to do it in just over an hour. Last one i had i pulled it out myself and was charged about $100 to have the new boot supplied and fitted to the shaft.

basically the rubber perishes over time and breaks down.

Anyone have a part number at all? I found this at Kudos Motorsport, is this what I need? http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/genuine-nissan-drive-shaft-dust-boot-kit-front-inner-right-genuine-nissan-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-gts4-r33-gtr-gts4-r34-gtr-25gt4-p-1178.html

common as cats doo , You can get them from Bursons , repco etc anywhere from $10 to $30 depends where you get it from and about an hour to fix.

7th post down should get you out of trouble for part numbers.

Inner boots letting go is not as common as the outer ones.If your doing 1 boot, then I'd recommend doing all 4 & forgetting about them for 10 years.

Expect to pay up to 2hrs labour (if the apprentice does it, 3hrs!) if you get all 4 done, if not, then only 1hr.

You will probably need to have the front diff topped up aswell, MAKE SURE THEY DO IT!

I'd do it for you for a case of beer, but I don't have a vice at home

Both cv boots on the driver's side were split as it turns out. Buying another two for the passenger side when I get home.
