cv axle questions.
Well my boots have cracked, and one is starting to give me signs its time to place it.
is there anywhere to buy cv axles online for cheap? Also does anyone have any advice on changing them out. Ive never done axles in a maxima before, but I have in a buddies civic, that was, pretty easy, just time consuming.
But it there a good writeup somewhere. or any advice?

Wow.... Never even changed an axle on his own. Sounds like another fake account by Corey Blade.
You want advice? Don't fugg up your car working on it, bring it to a proffesional.
And say something else to bet permaBanned.

you could look here:

bear in mnd that i only sell NEW axles not rebuilt so the "extra" cost is offset by the lack of dealing with core returns.

awesome, those prices are not very bad either.
I have changed axles in my civic. But not in my maxima.
My cousin can do them for me yes, but there is no need to. I do all my work myself, ive just never ran into problems with axles before on my personal car.
Also, the passengerside one, the boots are fine, but the driverside is torn, should i replace just the axle that has the torn boots, or should i go ahead and replace both.

You need a big socket for the axle nut - IIRC it's 36mm. And make sure you've got a LONG 10 (or 12?) mm wrench to get to the bolts that hold the passenger axle to the support bearing. They're a ***** to get to.
And if you've got an automatic you'll probably need to remove the passenger side axle to gain access to the driver's side anyway. 5 spd I don't think that's the case.

This is a false statement. Both axles are independent from each other when it comes to maintenance.

what makes you say that your car doesn't have a VLSD?
