Hey all,

was just wondering.... my CV boots have not yet started to leak fluid, but they are developing cracks.

The mechanic recommended I wait till they burst and the axle goes bad, then replace the whole axle, but I figure why if there isnt anything wrong with it.

I know that its almost as cheap to get a whole new axle as to replace the CV boot at a lot of places, so....

what I am wondering, is there any way to strengthen the boots? Like fill in the cracks will some rubber sealing compound to extend their life? Eventually they will go, but I have another few years of college left.... and I think my money would be better spent on other things..

thanks!
