Default CV Joints...Uh OH

Well it was bound to happen, with my CV Boots being ripped for a long time and me being an lazy/poor ass and not getting it fixed.

They've started clicking, passenger side only.
What I want to know is, do I have to replace the The CV Joint now or can I get away with replacing the boots?

Thanks in advance.

i bought mine for 57, and from what i have heard, it cost almost as much to replace the boot. and not really much less work. so either way, you might as well replace the hole thing.

Well as soon as I got the cash for them then I'll replace both. Unless I can come up with the cash for my swap first

Thanks guys

Might as well replaced the whole axle, but you don't have to do it now. You can drive it for a long time if you don't mind the clicking.

true, you can drive it for a long time, but if it busts you could **** up alot of ****. id say go with it for awhile but as soon as you can, spend the 60 bucks.
