Thanks… sounds like I need to ask more questions.

Took my car to dealership for SRS light… they said its driver side seatbelt but they can’t fix it. They did do an overall inspection and said I need new front axles bc the CV boot had ripped and there are signs of dirt inside. $2k seems like a ton of money here. Can I just clean the axle and...

Great idea
