CV joint/axle replacement, I used the search i swear to god Options

alright i used the search and it came back with nothing so here it goes.
my passenger side started clicking from there im assuming thats what it is. ive got almost exactly 140k is the timeline correct?

do i have to replace these in pairs? i have heard mixed reviews

when i brake the popping (think of your knee popping really hard) stops and it goes away when i accelerate. it is the worst under 30 mph, i dont know if thats because its quieter and i can hear it more and/or if it is because the popping is farther apart and so its more pronounced.

i have heard of buying "half axles" and also, how much time do i have? obviously im going to try to replace asap, but gotta get the money first.

thanks for the help

hmm i remember there being a topic about replacing these. you said you searched and couldn't find anything. you can to what he said, get them rebuilt, which is just fine. or buy just aftermarket ones that cost about $90-$110 at the most. my left (drive side) was the first to go out. it sounded as if it was metal to metal hitting against each other. i thought it was my exhaust that was loose, becuase i just recenlty put it in. when i got my high flow cat put in. the guy spotted the whole cv boot had exploded opened and all the grease was on the inside of rim. 2 months after, passenger side went out. got them replaced for $130 for each side and had them installed by a mechanic i know. didn't seem to be that hard, cause he only charge me $20-30 for labor, but then again he works on cars all the time at his house.

oh wait just found it here ya go http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...replacing+axles
