63 Valiant: driven daily 9 months out of the year. The boot on the ball and trunion joint dried up and ripped off. I had this replaced about 6 years ago, the guy who did it for me had a ***** of a time but seemed to enjoy the challenge. What are the advantages of changing. I just putz...

good thing this is a car forum but rereading my post seems like a good set up for some jokes. bring them on; automotive answers also appreciated.

My apologies for not knowing what most things are called but I'm trying. Heard a pop on the highway and then noise that increased in volume with speed of the car. the rubber cover on the shaft was ripped and flapping around causing the noise. Part of it pulled off easily by hand, (noise...
