Should I replace the whole cv assy? Should I use one of those split boot replacement kits that you can buy at your friendly neighborhood auto store? If I replace the whole shebang, how hard is it?
people think when you want to replace half shaft it's hard i'm here to tell you it really is easier than just changing the outer c/v are getting ripped off because you replace whole half/shaft c/v joint is probably just as much as a half/shaft also you got your warnenty on half/shaft. and a qick boot is just a fix for a few maybe just next day it will come off could come of be a weak if your lucky.

good luck.
