CV re-boot or replace axle?
In the process of removing my factory original front shocks; I had to cut off the bottom bolt on the drivers side. While doing so, I accidentally nicked the outer CV boot with my Dremel cut off tool. Realized the leak yesterday. Black grease accumulating around the boot, small leek. Aside from the leak, my CV’s seem to be in great shape, the boots looked in very good condition before I damaged the outer drivers side. I don’t hear any noise from them while turning. Seem like they have life left in them...my question is should I simply reboot the drivers side and re-install or replace the drivers side axle? If I replace one side with a OEM reman, do I need to replace both at that time? 2001 4Runner with 250,000 miles. As far as I know these are the original CV’s despite them being very clean looking.
