Before I go tearing out the steering shaft, does anyone know where to find the replacement parts for the lower shaft boot and bearings?
When it gets cold outside, it makes this awful hooting noise. Sounds like a dying owl. Or maybe a walrus with a stomach ache. Some days it even sounds like Chewbacca tossing his cookies. I've tried to lubricate it with bearing grease, I've tried white lithium grease, WD-40, transmission assembly lube, pretty much anything I'd have on the shelf. It goes away for a short time, but it comes right back.
I checked all my typical places, but I didn't see anything. Rock Auto, Quadtratec, all the box chain stores, nothing lists that rubber boots from what I can tell. And I figured I might as well do the shaft bearings while I'm that far into it.
If you can't tell, I'm sick of hearing this noise.
Thanks in advance
