I replaced my right side outer boots last year as it ripped and glazed my chrome rims like glue from grease.
It was 60 for a oem lexus boot kit ( much better than any aftermarket ones i looked at.
I didn;t need to replace my axles as it was a ercent rip and had not be subject to weather washing out the grease in the bearings.
Also i did not have it clicking on me.
A reman shaft here is about $250 ( i know have a friend with a cv rebuild shop ,so i could be much cheaper)
it takes time to get it all apart since it includesremoving and replacing
wheels
balljoints
tierods
sway bar
axle hub bolt
as well as repacking is a learned stlye.Learn on someone elses car first
total of 4 hours taking my time i think
