Torn CV boot, best axle replacement brand?

[wolf4runner]

Hi, Just found out that the both of the front cv boots are torn...so figure would be easier to change the axle, anyone has experience with this? what is a better brand? Is the brands (APWI, EMPI) selling on rockauto any good?
I know I could possibly drive the 4r for another thousands miles with the torn cv boot, but i wanna be prepared.

Toyota sells a boot replacement kit. Part # 04427-60140

Otherwise, you can get lifetime warranty rebuilds and new from any parts store. My personal recommendation would be O'Reilly, if you have those around where you live.

I agree.. I didn't have a tear but the front pass side came loose on a long trip and I just had my garage replace the clamps.. was super cheap. Unless you have been running the truck for tons of miles without noticing the tear and are now noticing noise or unusual wear then no need to replace them. They could be damaged if all the grease has been washed off then replacement might be necessary.
