How common are torn CV boot on the passenger rear shaft in NSX? My 92 NSX has 26k miles.
I am suspecting this might be the case in my NSX or worst yet, could be CV joint. I was clearning out various invoices out of glove compartment, and noticed there is "RIGHT REAR CV BOOT TORN" text typed on the oil change receipt from 2 weeks ago.
I have had several oil change, timing belt/water pump, 90k service, + various items done in the past 2 years, lowering spring, cam plugs, etc done. Why no one has pointed it out to me all this time?
There are zero noise 99% of time, absolutly no noise turning left or right, except it does rattle when I idle off the line without giving any gas, and rattle lightly in 1~2 shift. Basicly If I rock my car back and forth, I get a clicking sound from the rear sounds like a rocking chair. During smooth take offs there is no rattle or noise. Anything less than smooth, will creat this clicking sound.
This rattle noise has always been there ever since I purchased the car, tried very hard to address this issue, had Acura dealer inspected the motor mount, tranny mount, they said it is normal. Consulted good NSX independent shop, same exact answer.
Could it be bad CV joint? if so, how big of damage/repair cost should I expect?
Thanks in advance
