I noticed while changing oil that the rubber boots on my 98 Accord (110,000 miles)struts have rotted away. Is this something that has to be rectified immediately or ? The ride is still good at this point. thanks - dayll

Replying to: dayll (May 04, 2007 7:02 am) You need to get this fixed pretty fast, damage might already be done.....which will mean replacing the half shafts. The boots keep the grease in and the water out, which will ruin the bearings on the inside. You actually might be better off just having the half shafts replaced anyhow, and be done with it for another 100K miles. |

| kiawah - thanks for such a prompt reply. I'll take it in today. Will the cost be astronomical if the half-shafts are replaced? dayll | |

Replying to: dayll (May 04, 2007 7:02 am) if there are rubber boots on a strut (i can't remember), unless there's a sign of leaking or suspension bouncing, i'd keep driving with them. on the half-shaft or CV joint, personally, i wouldn't wait. |

| Sorry - I meant half-shafts not struts. They are being "rebooted" right now. Thanks again for the info and assistance. - dayll | |

Hello all, Hope someone can shed a light for me here  I tơok my car to the dealer for transmission fluid change and wheel alignment this morning. When I got my car back, the SRS light went on. Can anyone tell me if the SRS light has anything to do with the work done ? and is there anyway that I can reset the SRS light ? I hate to spend more for the dealer. Thanks

| There is an extended warranty on it. Somethign with a sensor and the seatbelts. It happened to me and they replaced the seatbelt fastener and a sensor no-charge, good luck. | |
