I'd replace both sway bar links while you're there since the other one will fail sooner or later. As far as the left outer CV boot is concerned, as long as you do not have the dreaded click-click-click or scrape-scrape-scrape sound, then you most likely have found the boot torn before your CV joint was damaged by sand/water, etc contaminants. If that's the case, then use the DIY for the boot replacement, otherwise, replace the whole half-shaft as I did in the past with my local indy. Good luck, let us know how you make out!
