If your CV boots are torn or your CV's are causing vibration I strongly advise that you pull out the axle, clean, repack and install new boots and be sure to install the left and right axles where they originated (left and right shafts are different lengths). New boots and tripod bearings are still widely available and inexpensive. Some rebuilders don't seem to know of or appreciate the variations that exist (even just left vs right) and, as a professional C900 mechanic, I know of serious costly consequences having resulted from replacing OEM axles that just need maintenance with rebuilt ones. Maybe some are OK but it looks like an unnecessary roll of the dice to me.
