I looked at Fastlane and the boot "kit" is $29 and it's OEM Febi/Bilstein. Now, I am used to CV joints which are packed with grease. Are you saying that the whole half axle shaft is filled with oil? Also, Fastlane list whole half axles @$430. How can Carquest sell them for $70? I looked in my Haynes manual for the car and it says this boot job requires "special" tools. Has anyone actually just replaced the boots with out having to replace the whole half axle?
