Thread: Opinions on CV Joint Repair or new half shafts

If this is not the right forum for this question, please move to proper one.
Yesterday, while replacing my front brake rotors and pads, I noticed that the driver's side half shaft boot closest to the tranny was slinging out green grease onto my lower frame. Not a lot, but enough to scrape off. I looked it over as best as I could but couldn't really see a split or hole. My question is: should I go to the trouble of pulling the axle, and replace the joint boot? Or, should I just buy a new/remanuf. half shaft and put that in?
If another half shaft, whose do you recommend? I see that AZ has them, as does NAPA (both new and remanuf). Or, should I get a used one from Ed Morad? So far, I do not have any noises or indications of CV joint failure but I want to take care of this before that happens.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

had the same thing happen to me,
just buy a remaned one you get new bearings and joints full a grease so it just better and there about the same price anywhere you go and plus theres a core charge to to you can get alittle back, but i got mine from orileys and they price match so its a win win

My right front is slinging grease. Any recomendations on what brand may be better? Thanks!
