I have an old car that I don't want to spend too much money on. It has broken CV boot. I can hear the da-da-da-da noise when turning at large angle and at low speed. The cost of replacing the joint and boot is $400 to $500. I wonder if it's possible for me to put lubricant inside and use some tapes to temporarily close the gap so that no more damage can be made to the car.
What would happen if you don't fix the boot and fix what's inside? Is there any eminent danger? I just wanted to drive a year or 2 before it dies.
Appreciate you advice. THANKS!
