Default help: Removal and replace Rear knuckle and boot

I am in the process of removing the rear driver side knuckle and replacing it due to a minor accident that I was invovled in. The boot was torn along with the lower control arm being bent. I know how to replace everything besides the boot? .. any Ideas on how that is done? I have never had to replace this before?

I think i found out how, is it the same considering it is on a different side? anyone know IF i can just buy the boot?

Try the above website. You can save money on your control arm here too. If you need to get a knuckle cheap, try:

Let us know how your repairs go. I would worry that shock to the rear strong enough to break the knuckle and bend the lower control arm might damage the differential, especially the pinion and ring gears..

We sell just the inner & outer boot kits. They come with the clamps as well.

I don't doubt that that's possible.

I think you would have to disassemble the diff and visually inspect the internals. That's just too much trouble to me. I would just assemble the parts you are replacing, have the rear end alignment checked and test drive it while keeping in mind that if there are any weird vibrations in the rear end you might have to get the diff checked out.
