If I just replace the boot, what are the odds it will start clicking?
I would replace the whole axle but they are damn expensive here, $300 for a rebuilt axle after trade in (napa). This post has been edited by Promasta: Aug 25, 2010 - 12:14 PM |

The lower the car, the more the CV joints bend which will cause the boots to rip sooner. I'm not sure if the rubber material in OEM CV boots are of better quality but the rebuilt axles that I'm using now came with boots with more folds which reduces the stress in the material and allow for moar lowering.
