Default Should I replace my CV boot

H22a 93 cx hatch

I hear knocking/popping when I turn left

I have a tiny hole in my passenger side cv boot at the wheel, grease all over the wheel

please give me an educated answer, Think I'll be lucky enough just to replace the packed boot or replace the axle?

Just replace the whole axle. Not a lot of people change the boots anymore.

Much easier and better for you just to change the whole axle.

Change the axle, its about to blow. The boot does nothing but keeps the grease in and the dirt out.

you've got to remove the axle to replace the boot, don't do it twice, get a new shaft while you have it out and do it right with new wheel bearings and transmission output shaft seals while you're at it.

if you're going to replace the boot, you do it BEFORE it starts making noise. Now you just need to replace the axle . It isn't too hard.

Hasport? Just get some from Orilies or Auto Zone, or whatever is around you.

Make sure it comes with lifetime warranty, and you will never have to pay for one again.
