Default change CV boot for 99 accord

hi,all.

I have a 99 accord coupe with 120K miles. Just find out my passage side CV boot is ripped and has some amount of grease spread out. I'm thinking about change only the boot since I CV joint havnt been making any noise yet. have any of u guys tried split boot(I hear the glue kind is good). I'm going to try it and hopefully it can hold about one year, so I can get cash to change the whole CV out.
my question is where can I buy some good split CV boot? is it worth to try?? thx

Ehhh

Personally I'd run the CV to the ground until it started making noise, then just swap it out, those boots (split) can be sketchy

It's almost ten years old, just replace the whole axle. Probably is easier than trying to replace a boot.

For what it's worth... on my '95 Camry, the cost to replace the axle (having a mechanic do it) was about $210. Front passenger side. The new axle will come with new boots of course.
