what happen?
I have a 98 Honda civic LX 30,650 miles. Two days ago the check engine
light went on and i brought it to a local auto repair shop and they found out that the O2 sensor need to be replace which causing the light to turn on. So i let them fixed my car. On my way home about 10 minutes after i got my car from the repair shop my CV boots or axle boots explode which hit the bottom of my car transmission and created a hole in it which caused all the oil inside to leak. Luckily,(i dont know if i can call that a luck)it happen infront of another auto repair shop. Thankfully those people in that auto shop helped me pull it on the side of the road (because i stopped in the middle of the road) and I let them looked what went wrong... that's where we found out that my CV boots disintegrated... My question is... Is it possible that those mechanics on the first auto shop where i brought my car intentionally loosen any parts of my car (cv boots)to make it look like my car has a big problem? Bcoz before i went there my car runs in good condition. To fix my car it gonna cost me $1,700 and my car doesnt have any warranty at all....??? |

1700 to CV boots? Sounds fishy. To do the boots on my
girlfriends car (87 prelude), even after the balljoint popped and it cost $75 for new boots. Even if you had to replace the driveshafts entirely, you shouldn't be looking at more than $500 - $700 including labor, and that is a really high estimate. There must be something else wrong, or they are taking you for a ride. t |

A double wishbone suspension blowing it's axle in that manner is highly
unusual. There should have been gradual signs (clunking while trying to turn) before the axle actually came off. If your car was bought used, then anything is possible. If you are the original owner and it's never seen an accident, then I'd suspect a third party catalyst. The most suspicious aspect of your post is a 98 car with only 30K that has not been dealer maintained.
