Take your boots to a ski/boot shop that sells the same brand. They can replace the heel piece, or at least order a replacement for you.
If the "knocking" sound is a heavy clicking sound when turning, and if the vehicle is front-wheel-drive, you probably have a worn CV joint, often referred to as a half-shaft. This problem can sometimes be temporarily corrected by repacking the joint with grease and replacing the rubber CV boot which is probably torn. Usually, however, it is best to replace the shaft since it is necessary to remove it to replace the boot anyway, and this constitutes most of the labor. On the other hand you can do a bit of a cheat by cutting off the old boot, repacking the joint with grease, and re-covering it with a special split boot that does not require removal of the shaft. A CV joint (Constant Velocity Joint) is the equivalent of a Universal Joint in the drive shaft of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
First, check the lug nuts and wheel bearing... maybe it really IS coming off.If both of those are okay, next check the CV joint. Typically a CV joint that's worn that bad will have a torn or damaged "boot". Whenever you see a damaged CV joint boot, just replace the CV joint. After-market boots seldom work.
The rear universal joint on a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder should be replaced when it becomes worn out or broken. Symptoms of a worn joint include rough handling and suspension issues.
What you're describing sounds a lot like a worn or damaged CV joint. Check the half-shaft and see if the boot is intact or if grease has leaked out. If the boot isn't perfect or if you can see any grease that has been thrown from the boot, the CV joint is toast.
no need to replace wheel bearing unless the wheel bearing is worn out
A boot is worn on the foot.
Don't try to repair a worn out CV joint, replace it with a new or reconditioned one. The cost would depend on the vehicle which you failed to describe.
No. The boot replaces or is worn instead of a cast.
Because laces can be extremely abrasive. Especially once they've have become dirty and gritty. The kiltie sits between the lace and leather on the boot and protects the leather on the boot, As the kiltie can be replaced after it is worn and it is quite expensive to replace the leather on your boots.

AnswerI don't believe these are repairable.... they just have to be replaced. Often it is cheaper and more efficient to replace the whole axle since the cost of recon axles is now so cheap. My problem is getting the outer cv joint off the axle to replace the boot. I recall from my days at an Infiniti store that the techs used a big vice and a heavy hammer to beat the joint off the end of the shaft. The object is to compress a snap ring which is on the shaft inside the joint. The hammer method works...eventually. But I feel sure there is a smarter and quicker way to achieve this. Does anyone know of one?Get the CV joint puller tool and you can take the joint apart. If it is worn, you will need a new one.Usually it is cheaper and easier to replace the whole axle, regardless.
Usually the entire axle is replaced rather than trying to repair the CV joint.
