Default CV boot/ joint HELP!

ok first off i Torr the hell out of my outer CV boot there's grease everywhere.
i'm not sure when it happened but i know it was the within the last 2 or 3 days (pretty sure it happened today)
i've been driving on it and had the boot replaced tonight
what i'm wondering is how strong are the joints? i was told that i might need to replace it. there is no bad noises coming from it "clicking or grinding"
is it a big deal if i just go on driving it now or is it a must that i replace it?

THANX in advance

Your joints should be fine...although you should've just replace the entire axle due to low cost. You will know when they are bad, they click around turns.

yups should've just change out the axel. autozone have a lifetime warranty rebuilt axel for about $70 with a core charge.

the joint will be fine. they only go bad if you drive on them for a long time or in super nasty conditions. ie dirt roads.
