Have a 1981 300D with a torn axle boot. Is it important to change right away? Can the car be driven very long with this condition? What is easier, changing the boot or the axle? Saw a mechanic change the boot once and it looked very difficult trying to stretch the boot over the funnel device onto the axle. In fact, a couple of boots ripped trying to stretch them over the large part of the axle.
Thanks.
