Get 2 rebuilt complete CV joints and swap them out. Get it done somewhere else. New will be very costly plus stealership labor. It's been a while ago but I swapped out a Jetta CV joint for $100 myself. Stealership wanted $800.
My guess is the grease was slung out of the CV boots after the rubber degraded and tore and the joint slowly wore out.

Being in DFW I would contact Tandem Automotive in Haltom City. I want to say they quoted me $150 each to rebuild my stock CV axles. I would strongly recommend keeping your stock axles and having them rebuilt.

Thanks for the info. Gave them a call and they have a huge back log right now. He did tell me they send out the axles to be rebuilt so if I do end up having to pay for it Im probably going to oull them and take them someplace.

Seems like the place I got my CV joint at was Ft. Worth Drive Axle but this may be the same place. I think there may be a similar place in Dallas too. I just took it off and swapped it for a rebuilt one for $100. I am sure it will cost more than that like the $150 quote from Tandem. Tandem is a good place to get your vehicle serviced though. They specialize in Toyota 4x4s.
In order to get the Jetta CV joint out I had to buy a special 25 spline socket from Snap-on to get the big bolt on the outside off and then there were about 6 bolts holding the CV join on the inside. Then I had to dislodge a ball joint to be able to get it out. Wasn't too terribly hard.
One more thing, put this in a spray bottle and spray this on the CV boots before you put it on. It will make the boots last longer.

The axles are cheap relatively speaking. I broke my fronts. The main concern is any damage to the front differential. I had to wait almost 5 months for a new diff...all the while the undriveable truck sat on the shops lift. Toyota even confirmed the diff was in stock..still took months.
Edit to add, in my experience with snapped front axles, you hear a metallic clicking noise. The tires dont move and when snapped sag out of alignment and do not appear to be straight with the road. You wont be able to drive it and wheels look like they will fall off. Its a mess...

I think in this case the CV joint was broken, not the axles.

what part of DFW are you in? Need help swapping the axle? I have been known to open my garage and lend a hand for pizza and beer.

I appreciate the offer. Up in the Lewisville area. The extended warranty company took care of it.
