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...

BOTH of my outer boots are split! I have the boot kits I need (with grease) but I need time to do the job... SOON!!!!
Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
Thanks for all the help.

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.

Yeah I am thinking about lowering my nose back down and saying the heck with it. I know the lift is just the 2 inches or so of clearance but the places we’ve been around here don’t require a lift really. Maybe I'll make it about a 1 inch lift like your thinking.
Maybe I will buy one of those scooters you see around and just drive the VX on occasion from now on. I really need to start walking to work anyway, it’s only a 20 minute walk. Yes that is about a 5 minute drive and yes I am that lazy. This month I get the Employee of the month spot but that really isn’t worth ruining my engine.
Normally I am the type of guy who takes all the bad stuff that piles up and says ok lets work on it and move on, there is nothing that can change what’s happened but man when it rains it pours….

I have a question. Do you do any serious off-roading or did your boot tear just from normal driving? I can see where having it lifted plus doing serious off-roading will put a lot of extra stress on the boot but not just from normal driving?
Peace.
