So the cost is pretty close to change out torn CV boot or installing a new axel. Is it better to keep my original 14 year old OEM axel and just change the boot, or install an "cheap" aftermarket axel for a few bucks more? Also, is are the DIY CV boot repair kits worth it? Just basically tape the tear. Doing the CV boot replace or axel replace just takes too much time it seems and I don't have space to get under my VX for 6 or 7 hrs...let alone even having that much time to spare. Thoughts?
