Wife says her '05 Passat (66K miles) makes a clicking noise in the right side when she makes turns. Of course, I can't hear it and no abnormal noises at highway speeds. I did a cursory inspection of the CV boot when I changed the oil yesterday. The boot looked intact, but was "wet" on the outboard end. Looks like something has been slowly leaking in that area because there is a buildup of crud. The left side is "clean" for comparison.
So, what are the possible problems here?
1. Just a torn CV boot?
2. A damaged CV joint + a torn boot?
3. Some other problem?
4. Can the CV joint be replaced without replacing the half-shaft also?
Thanks!!
