Re: CV boots
The solution is to buy reputable rebuilt half-shafts. Most of those rebuilt are Toyota half shafts since they the only ones being used as cores. No one buys new aftermarket half-shafts unless they are going to be used for racing.
Since the boot is broken, you have alot of dirt and grit in the boot and on the CV joint. If you only replace the boot, you will not have clean CV joints and they will die soon from wear related to the contaminated grease in the boot/CV joint. The only way to get a long-lasting repair is to either take the half-shaft completely off and rebuild/clean the CV joints and repack them with new clean grease, or simply replace the old half-shafts with rebuilt ones as an assembly.
IMO, Go with the rebuilt ones - it will save you alot of time and cost only a little more.
