Hi guys, i have a st162 with a 3sfe, my cv joints have been crunching for a while so i decided to change them. I went and bought new cv joints got under the car and noticed that the cv joint boots were torn (as expected) but i also noticed that on the right side the boot on the other end of the drive shaft that goes into the transmission is torn too, now im not sure does this mean i will need to change the whole drive shaft?

Thats something you would have to ask your mechanic...
Normally when you change the CV joints you change both sides... well i know i did...

well if the boot is torn doesn't unnecessarily mean the the cv joint is stuffed, however normally if one side starts to rattle the other will most probably soon follow, you have to get the boot replaced anyway and the price of labour will be the same, so you may as well change the other side as well, and that way you wont have any trouble with getting a RWC .
good luck
