I concur that it would be far more cost effective in the long run to replace the passenger side half shaft...........
your cost for just the boot replacement will be mainly for the labor and the replacement of the shaft is the same there. I suggest you go to O'Reilly's and get the Cardone aftermarket rebuild........you will find it is the OEM just rebuilt by Cardone............cost approx. 119.00 that includes the core charge of 60.00, then go to a brake shop or other front end rebuilder and they should take about 1/2 or less to do the install.....make sure they use the ring and seal from the tranny side and that it is seated properly........the rest is a no-brainer.............this way you will have hub and axle boots all new, greased and sealed.........then take the half-shaft they give you back to O'Reilly's and they will reimburse you the 60.00 core charge..........Voila........you will have a much better trip knowing that at least the axle will not fail on the passenger side.............this is the downside to story, however......::: you should replace the driver's side as well at the same
time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
