Hi, sorry this is my first post. I'm a bit pressed for time right now so I'll have to do my intro post, profile, avatar, etc later.
I have a 2008 Rav4 AWD with the V6 and almost 140k miles. The roads are wet today and when pulling out at a stop light I felt a tire spin just a bit then felt a clunk coming from the rear. I was a block from home so I just parked it in my driveway. I did a quick visual underneath but didn't see anything obvious. It's been raining all day and my driveway is a mud pit so I can't even jack it up to get under it. I tried backing it out and I hear and feel a click, click, click coming from the rear of the vehicle when the wheels are turning. Am I right in thinking this is probably a CV joint? Are there any special tools involved to replace it? And a ballpark on the cost? Thanks in advance and sorry for seeming rude by just popping in and posting like this without doing an intro or profile. I gotta go out and borrow a friends truck so we have wheels until this is fixed.
