See if you can find an auto parts store that sells cv boot repair kits. It is a split boot that wraps around and ataches together. You fill it up w/ grease and slap it on there. It is a temporary fix but if you can get one to work on the KJ then it will buy you some time until you can get it fixed correctly. |

Don't be driving any appreciable time without repair. CV joints are big-time expensive! |

Most places sell remaned CV shafts for the KJ for about $150 each side,don't go to the dealer since they want $1000 each. |

welcome to the CV boot up the stupid club. option 1: fill cv boot with CV grease and try to seal (but most likely you will need options 2 or 3 as well) option 2: order new cv boot from JE Reels. took 1 week to get delivered to me. gotta remove shaft to install new boot ($30) (how to in tech section) option 3: order new CV shaft- I just ordered one from Marlin at Jeepin By Al. He has them on there for $150. Marlin is awesome!!!! good luck! and don't drive too much or you risk it all |

If the rips aren't too large, clean-up the area, abrade it a bit and put on some RTV sealant. Let it dry thoroughly. I've been running mine almost a year with this patch... TL |
