Front Axle Boot Repair (What will it take?)
I heard a strange clicking noise by my driver-side front tire while I was driving. I looked under and found this: (See picture below)
I haven't been driving in any dirt so I'm pretty sure the inside is clean. What should I do to go about fixing this?
EDIT: A chunk of the boot was missing by the way. So grease had flown everywhere. From what I can tell that's all that happened so I'm basically asking what the process is to replace this boot and if there's anything I should worry about.

You can take the joint apart and clean it out, then pack it full of the high pressure grease that comes with the new boot, you should be good as long as there is no wear in the joint.
