The two outer boots (near the wheels), will eventualy split and need replacing. And they can give some warning signs. One mechanic saw that one was cracking a bit, but not split. The next mechanic saw they were not split open yet so left it. Maybe a boot has now split apart now, in which case it realy needs replacing. If the CV joint is left for a while, with the grease leaking out, the joint will wear and need replacing also $$$. Toyota Genuine Parts only sell the boots as a kit, with two boots and some grease in each kit, ment for one driveshaft. But, only the outer boot splits so realy you should only pay for the outer boot right? Get them to sourse a aftermarket CV boot, and this will cost more like $35 each, or sometimes less. Better still, go to Repco and buy the part yourself. Any mechanic should be able to do the job, so no real need to pay $85/hr. Replacing the CV boots is normal maintanace, expect them to fail every 5 years. [Report message to a moderator]
