Yes, it is not the shop owers fault. I realise this.
I just couldn't think of how that the fellow could have not seen the obvious.
But you know... you all are right, when the wheel is turned, the boot collapses inward and looks O.K.
( Still though ... once the wheel is off of the car, doesn't the thing drop down in plain sight ?. )
The guy seems honest enough.
We are still on very good terms. I will go back and get his advice on what to do - but this time, I will think before I act.
So is there anything good that came about by replacing my "C-V joint shafts" instead of the torn boots ?
I would hate to think that I basically just threw away several hundred dollars for nothing.
As far as the car driving funny, well it just feels awkward like the wheels need to be alligned. It also feels stiff.
I can't really comment on it right now because I haven't driven the car except for the three blocks that I live from the shop. I'm sure things just need to be broken in ( I think I actually stated that before. )
Sorry if that I was misleading.

bhazard : Learn to do my own work ? Well ... I live in an apartment. I really, really wish I had a garage like you guys.
