2004 Mazda 6 CV JOINTS
Suspension problem
2004 Mazda 6 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 86000 miles
I noticed a sort of a rubbing sound while driving and the sound would get worse if i was taking a curve mainly when i turn the wheel to the left. So i jacked the car up, i noticed a broken ball joint on the lower control arm, i replaced the ball joint, and i still have the same rubbing sound just not as bad as before, anyway i jacked the car up again and tool a look, and noticed that there was grease seeping out from the cv joint and it looks like the clamps are bad, because i only see the grease coming out from where the clamps are. So i was wondering before i start taking everything apart, do I need to replace the whole cv joint assembly or can i just repack the joint and replace the boots and clamps?
