The rubber covers which i think people call the boots have split and have let all the grease out which i dont think has helped. The thing is they are only 8 months old, so why have they split? is it because my car is lowered? I know the angle of the shaft goes up when the car is lower but shorly they are designed to do that and should not stain them.
When I am going along in the car and ever so slightly steer left there is a grinding noise kind of like a really heavy duty brake. When I am turning a corner say from a traffic light or full lock they is clunking too.
I don't rag the car either just incase any of you think I drop the clutch at revs lol and think that has caused damage to the drivetrain.
Hope some people have some idea what and why this is.
Many Thanks

well first i would check you the correct CV joints fitted, next make sure you have the correct bottom arms fitted also with no play in the ball-joint,
polybush the inner and outta TCA and fit uprated engine mounts, i would have a 100% guess that you engine mount on the drivers side will be split in half and thus when you rev the car hard or drive spiritly this will pull on the shaft, also leave the circlip out when re-fitting the drivers side inner CV
