Good luck with getting the outer joints off. If it goes well, it seems that is a reasonable path. Just seems hit and miss, though it seems it really is an art. Here is some info on the shafts from Cardone I used should you be interested in the reference. In general I thought they looked pretty good though I did not peer inside the boots to the joints themselves. So far so good, but I only have about 2000 miles on them currently. I am curoius as to the quality of the boots but assume they shall be OK. I purchased some inexpensive steering rack boots for the tie rod connection for my old Porsche 931 from a trusted but aftermarket source, and they crumbed in 18 months, but I am confident the boots on these Cardone Select Parts are probably made properly. RockAuto was the source for the info below and where I obtained mine.
