Experienced/Knowledgeable Comments from Do-It-Yourselfers:
On my '99 Accord 5spd manual with 110,000 miles, the front CV Boots are beginning to have "sweat stains", indicating some leakage of the grease-packed CV joints. I'm told it's easier to just replace the whole side axle, rather than replace the boots and messy grease.
Are the dealer parts worth the extra cost, or have you had good luck with another supplier? I see re-built axles anywhere from $60 on up, browsing online and ebay. If not the dealer, who specifically would you recommend?
On DIY scale of 1 - 3, I'm 2.
Thanks, Pat
