I need a passenger front CV Boot replacement. Should it matter if I go ahead and get the cheap generic one for 1/4 the price or should I be concerned with the durability and go ahead with the stock OEM? I don't want to be replaceing this time and time again h:

 

I usually don't go with replacing the boots. Replace the boot if it tears and you happen to see it right away. If you've waited a bit, than the grease in boot is all gone, and I'm sure dirt has gotten in it. I'd swap out axles. Only like $70 for an axle from napa with core exchange.

 

to answer your question..go for the generic, it will last just as long

 

Rubber is rubber, it's not like Honda personally goes to the jungles for the rubber trees...

 

They send specialized midgets to that

I'd just go with the generic, although I do have a honda replacement on my own car.

If your boot is currently torn, then do like bumnah said.

 

I found that my CV boots aren't cracked yet, but look real close to it. I just got new boots instead of getting the whole new axle. Anybody know how to disassemble the inner CV joint? Is is all supposed to just slide out or what?
