We have 86000 miles on it. Had the car shipped to Europe. We are driving in Czech Republic and had it up on a lift for an oil change. The mechanic pointed out a completely dried out driveshaft boot, with a large crack in one section. Ford in the US, says that it is covered under our extended warranty, but only on US soil.
The Ford dealer says that we cannot purchase a boot, but we have to get the entire rear section of the driveshaft, p# BR3Z4R602H, and it is $620.
We checked with Fedex, and shipping it over is $947.
options, that I know of are...
1: Bite the bullet, have it shipped.
2: Have it shipped to someone in the states, remove boot, ship boot for $45. Have boot replaced here. Done.
3: Buy an 4" aluminum one piece driveshaft. $795 plus shipping
4: Wrap cracked boot with Silicone Rescue tape. Keep driving.
5: Sell car here in Europe
6: Take your advise...
Thanks for your help.
