Changed a CV boot only to discover the real issue.. mullered CV joint!!
took about an hour of hammering with a punch to get it out.. splines are worn
Thankfully only £23 from euro parts for a new cv joint kit
also discovered just how much I hate those stupid clips that go round em.. even bought the friggin tool for them and they are STILL a pain!! just can't get them to close tightly in a simple manner
Be changing the CV joint over on friday.. threads on it are ruined so its gotta go! probably for the best, as i don't know how long the boot was split for but the grease inside was green
