Oh, and I never go to the dealer unless I can no way find it somewhere else. Dealer wanted 0.42 each for exhaust manifold nuts, hehe. I got mine for 0.08 each

You can get the boot at just about any autoparts store. They all are the basically the same. Make sure you clean the bearings good, and then grease them again before you put the new boot on.No since in putting the boot on if they are dirty.

Ugh, I think $60+core for a rebuilt axle w/ lifetime warranty is worth it if I don't have to go through the mess and hassle of having to rebuild one of those joints. h:

I agree! Especially if it's been cracked for a while. I don't care how good you clean it, won't be long till it starts clicking. A new axle should last at least 5 years.

sorry i have no money, im broke, i still dont have a job, and i cant be caughin up $60 for that ****, if i get the boot it should last me a while, my boot has been cracked a long time also, and no prob with the cv joint yet. i just got a new clutch, i need to resurface the fly, fix my a/c, change my timingbelt, water pump, and master brake. that right there is like $200 in labor, plus me buying the parts.

I don't know ... give me an offer I guess. Unfortunately, it's not OEM Honda, but it works fine. I bought it as a set because I needed the slave cylinder. Check your hookup then let me know. I don't want you to buy soemthing you don't need.
