just buy the boot if they're still good, but yeah advance axle comes with lifetime warrenty and if they break it'll be free exchange.

aight cool .. i would buy a new boot .. my uncle who changed my timing belt and works at honda told me just get a new axle .. so i dunno ... i do hear a click once in a while but i didnt hear any today.

and i think i cracked the boot like 2 days ago .. i hit a pothole .. and i heard like a real loud like burst .. i thought i blew a tire, but the tire was fine so i'm wonderin if it was the boot that got f'ed up at the time

If it has been clicking, just get a new axle.

Buy the axle not just a boot.

No buddy changes just the boot, the labor involved is not worth it.

Have your uncle help you change it the first time. He'll know what he's doing and you can learn.

With proper tools it can be done in 15 minutes.

If you've never done one it could take you 3 hours or more.
