You can buy a complete reman from autozone or similar for around $80 with your core and they will have a lifetime warranty.
If it's just your boots and you don't want to do the whole reman thing, then just buy the boot kit. More than likely, your actual joints are just fine.

Autozone are worth it, or the ones from advanced.. RUN AWAY from pepboys or fleabay.

I figured as much.
I get a really bad, bad shake if I lock the hubs and drive.

Well could be a bent front driveshaft as well, I would start at the CV's tho.

Check your short shafts as well, if you feel any vibration or hear any clanking you will need to replace both sides.
It is actually easier to replace the boots and the shafts all at the same time rather than replacing the boots only!
FYI: i just replaced my half shafts with torn boots with a *new* complete 1/2 shaft from autozone for $138 total (California)
Bob, do you know if there is a huge difference in quality between factory and autozone/napa type cv's? I'm wondering if there is much difference right off the bat by just looking at them. Boot quality, smoothness, etc? I'd think factory would be the way to go but it can be very expensive.Originally Posted by Bob98SR5
Mike,
Damn, i wish i wouldve taken a side by side pic. The only noticeable thing that seemed to be missing on the Autozone one was this cup shaped metal piece (not very tall in height) that the stock one had. Since i bought new, i still have the old one which i will rebuild when i find the time to do so.
Interesting. An old one that isn't thrashed makes for a great trail spare once rebuilt. I never got around to fixing the ones on my old truck. My current ones look good but I was wondering about options.
