[V8] Recent CV boot repair thread?

[Dave Saad]

I don't recall a thread about this, but you have to remove the axle  
shafts, which requires taking apart the front suspension.  It is a  
pretty big job really, and if you were me, you would take the  
opportunity to also replace the lower control arm bushings, upper  
strut bearing, sway bar bushings, and maybe even wheel bearings and  
tie rod ends. You are going to be right there anyway. The wheel  
bearings will add a lot of expense, but the other parts are pretty  
cheap.  I am guessing under $100 for all of them.
Boy - the more I ponder this, the longer the list gets - you could  
also do the sub frame bushings.
