1997 Eclipse:
So last night I was out of town with a couple of friends and while we were driving I hit a speed bump pretty hard that I didn't see, and after I did, it sounded like a smooth metal on metal type sound, and when I got home, I jacked up my car and got under it, and seen that the CV boot was ripped on the driver side about 1 1/2- 2 inches, would i be okay if I just replaced the boot and packed it back with grease or should I just replace the whole axle. you could see where it had grease slung all around it, and there is no clicking or popingn while turning or anything, and you can hear the sound when you spin the wheel with you hand with it jacked up. i really need a response ASAP, thanks guys
