a boot is like 15 bucks....if u dont do it ur looking at a cv axle failure aka no car. Replacing the boot would be to patch the problem....its up to you

Once the Cv shaft starts clicking you need to replace the cv shaft all together. You dont need to replace the left and right at the same time, you can do just one. The thing is the lubercant dry's out from a crack in the boot or some how air is getting in a drying it out. Doest really matter. Once it starts clicking its not worth greasing it and throwing a new boot on, replace it.
