I am not really sure what way to go here? I will be doing the repair myself so for the extra money for the shaft it might be easier to do the shaft instead of the boot replacement? Boot replacement seems lenghty where as the shaft is a little less involved i guess you could say? My boot just tore so I am almost certain the shaft is still good. but I have got 120kms on my 2000 4.4 so when does the inner boots usually go? Any thoughts would be great!
