Replace the axles. Search for axle replacement.

You'll need a 32mm socket. Strong arms.

~65.00 each at Autozone.

and:

A cheap pry bar is helpful
Ball-joint remover (rent a good one it from autozone)
Couple bottles of transmission fluid
a pan for draining trans fluid when the axle is out
NEW cotter pins for the ball joints
Transmission fluid filler hose kit for refilling (~$5)

You can replace just the joints pretty easily, but the boots are a bitch.

Spend the extra coin and get the complete axle from Autozone. It comes with a lifetime warranty so you don't have to buy them again.
