cv boots are leaking (driver side) should i replace the whole shaft?
i found out that my cv boots are leaking on my driver side.....is it a good idea to just switch out the whole CV half shaft? i heard cv boots run $20-30 each so wouldnt it be a better choice to replace the shaft and the boots?
i called advance auto parts and they told me a REMANUFACTURED half shaft will cost me only $60 which includes new boots and everything
anyone esle has or have had this problem?
how hard is the install?

WHAT!!!!
You could have saved about 140 bucks. Its really easy to replace the whole shaft rather than just the boot.

If you don't know how long it's been leaking, just replace the whole shaft.

if your boots are leaking, then theres a chance that junk might have gotten inside. its safer and cheaper to replace your shafts and boots at the same time. my boots were leaking so i only had those replaced.
