Unless you have been driving with a torn boot to the point that the CV joint is destroyed and is clicking even when the wheels are pointed straight, I would just clean, regrease and reboot the axle. You can also just replace the outer CV joint with a Febi CV joint (but they are probably Made in China).
Just my 2 cents.

If they can survive my driveway everyone else's street queens will do fine with the autozone axles where ever they are made.
Its not uncommon for all the torque to be directed at one wheel on mine up some rather large climbs.
As for having to do the boots in other countries where they cost so much that makes tons of sense to change the boots in place of replacing. In the united states autozone is the only logical choice wallet wise. Not to mention install time wise.
The new axles have already have over 50,000 miles put on them plus the driveway torture test. Zero issues. |
