The boots on this 240 are not just cracked, not just split, but pretty much blown wide open. A few weeks ago, I had read about the CV lube/duct tape fix, so I already did that. It bought me a few weeks, but that's about it.

Yesterday, I bought 2 new axles at $97 each from NAPA, since we don't have an Advanced Auto around here (this is in Palm Springs, nothing's that cheap). They're both made in China, which sucks, but I have a friend to help me out this weekend and I needed to do this quicker then CVJ can get them to me. I need my car back on the road.

I figure I'll probably get 100,000 miles tops on them...but that's not too bad. Just cross my fingers for that.

Thanks for the advice guys.
