can I buy this CV axle at Autozone? See link in post

http://www.autozone.com/N,11200512//shopping/partTypeResultSet.htm



I have a separated boot on the differential side of my CV drive shaft (half-shaft?) It doesn't look torn, but rather just separated from the ring on the wheel side of the boot.

It has been making intermitant clunking sounds over the last 6 months, but now, it is constant. Initially I thought it was my exhaust and muffler...

I have an appointment tomorrow for an allignment, so I wanted to drive it in (37 miles).

My question is.... can I fill the boot with grease (if so what kind do I get) and just duct tape it together to make the 1 day trip to the shop?

The noise got real bad yesterday, and this morning I got a ride to work it was so bad....

Will that help, and can I do it. Also, could the noise be just the separated boot, and no grease..... or probably a bad CV drive axle....?

Thanks in advance. Please respond today if you have feedback..
