Why are the axle's bad? or is it just CV boots that have torn?

too many miles w/ CV boots torn ....my fault

thank u ...I'll try that..thank u

Ouch, I feel your pain!. I just had both front CV boots (right and left) go bad within a week of each other and my X only has 45K miles on it.

Is a cv boot the joint on the drive axsel?

Yep! The accordion looking rubber things.

What type of noise/issues do bad axels/joints make?

Clicking and grinding while turning are two of the common descriptions of some of the sounds heard.

As for where to get them I have them avaible HERE.
