I have a 2002 Gem e825 that is running really rough and is making noise from the front passenger side wheel. I jacked it up and noticed grease on the outer boot and a crack in it i can feel a little play when I move the shaft or turn the wheels. Is this possible the c/v joint or the bearing? If i replace the shaft where is the best place to buy. I can handle most repairs and have all the tools but I am having a hard time finding a service manual. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
I thought with a crack in the boot it might be more c/v than bearing. The wheel has no play in it when I try to move it. I will have to get into Tearing apart the wheel and get up close and personal lol with it.
