ok here are pictures.


taken from the front of the passenger side front wheel behind the bumper

red thing is my caliper.

close up picture.

i found the problem. that black rubber boot(is that called cv boot?) thing was torn and i think a grease from inside was leaking out....i think it squeezes out whenever i steer. i figured it isnt major suspension component, i could drive everyday(i put 100mi on my car everyday, including saturday.)

so i drove my car to work today...hehe

any idea how easy it is to fix on my own at home with ranchetset(which i need to pick one up), floor jack + jack stand? how long it would take if i have all necessary parts already? or estimated cost/time if i were to take it to shop?

thanks alot guys.
