Blown CV boots :(
Back in 2014 I did a full suspension rebuild on the 3.0 and as a preventive measure I installed new CV boots on the outers. Well, they've failed spectacularly, throwing grease everywhere (not OE or OEM). My bad for picking cheap boots but they did last 6+ years.


Now I have to do it again but the car is probably not long for keeping so I face a choice for repair. I can get aftermarket axles for both sides for C$150-200.


Opinions on Cardone or Trackmotive or GSP?
