I know there are many threads out there and I do apologize in advance, but here it goes again: I have 99VX and found the passenger side outer CV Boot completely tore open, there is still grease on the joint and it makes no noise at this time. I have a friend that is a good shade tree mechanic and he advised best to just change the axle at this time, versus putting just a boot on since the work isn't much more involved once you do the work just to get to get to the outer boot. I have read the prior threads, but I am still confused about the interchangeability of our axles and other Isuzu vehicles. I went to ebay and found a posting for an axle and it included the following chart for interchangeability:

I have located a passenger side axle for a 99 Trooper through PEP Boys and I just need to ask, has anyone tried a same year axle from a trooper yet. I think my plan will be to get the trooper axle and a boot. If we take the old one off and see that it does not match up, will most likely just do the boot and return the axle.

Again I apologize in advance, but just checking to see if there are any solid answers at this time.

Thanks for not flaming me on this post.
