hi all

i have a mk2 astra bertone convertable

went down this country lane last night and the car got stuck,got it home and the left side was making a clicking sound.went to the car wash this mornign and jet washed the underneath and the clicking stopped.went out in my car 2 hours later and the clicking was back

jacked it up and my n/s cv boot is split on the outside closest to the wheel

all i need to know is do i need just the boot or is the clicking sound telling me a bearing is gone or anything etc etc???

can i buy a kit where everyything is complete as the drive shaft is still in mint condition

When CV boots break they can spray all the CV grease out, knackering your CV joint

Could chance regreasing it and hoping it will go away. We've done it before and it worked
