My Rodeo needs front brakes and rotors before it gets inspected. Now while I'm tearing into the front end to get the rotors off, and since I've had the Rodeo for 2 years now, I figure I better grease the wheel bearings. My situation comes into play with my CV boots. All 4 are completely ripped.
Would it be best to replace the boots at about $15 a piece or should I just buy new half shafts and replace them with the new boots included? I am looking on RockAuto right now and they have new halfshafts from $45-60.
The other thing I want to do if I have the extra money when I am working on all of this is to install manual hubs. I have read several threads about the splines being chewed up because of the auto-locking hubs. If mine are chewed up I guess new half shafts would be the way to go then, right?
