    Now this (bad CV’s) has been apparently pinpointed for an issue that some other VXers (tom4bren to be exact) have concerning a grinding/vibration noise at high speeds. I was thinking about just changing the whole axles, do you really think just the boots is a good idea or just a cheaper way to handle the current situation?

    I'd just change the axles....but I'm seriously anal, and prone to changing out parts.

    And another way to go would be replacing all the boots, cleaning out the old grease & re-packing the CV's with fresh grease.
    IMO, the meca-tech kit from www.independent4x.com is the shizz.
    It contains everything you need, including grease.
    I'm more prone to using parts until they break...

    Once again I am left with the feeling that lifting my VX is something I should not do....

    Sorry Clint, let us Reno boys know if you need a hand mending your VX.
