[DML] Rear Axle

["Tom Watkins" <dmctom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was told yesterday during a yearly vehicle inspection that my drive axle boots are torn on one side.  I was told that the CV joint has some movement that would indicate some wear.   I couldn't find a "kit" for the parts in the CV joint as replacements but there was a great articule in last months GULLWING magazine about cleaning and re-booting them.

If there is some undesirable movement in the CV joint. not normal in and out but laterally, is it advisable to simply take it out and clean the dirt etc...re-pack and re-boot?  A new shaft is approx $600.   Any thoughts?

Thanks
