Replace Axle or CV Joints??

So my steering wheel is shaking when I drive, took it to the shop and the mechanic told me that my cv joints are bad but recommended me to change out the complete front axle.

Now my question is, should I just replace my cv joints or should I replace my entire front axle??

My car has 167xxx miles and is a 2002 maxima automatic.

As well, what brand should I look into getting when replacing these?

Thanks in advance

I'd go with the entire axle. Raxles is a fantastic brand.
