Subject:1991 westy: torn CV boots on AT - best course of action?
From:Kevin P Gilleran
Date:Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:56:45 -0800

All,

I have a 1991 westy with an automatic transmission. I have torn boots on
both axles.

I am at 108,000 miles and wonder if I should r/r the entire axle assembly on
both sides rather than replace the boots only. It looks like GoWesty has
rebuilt axles with german CV's and lobo boots should hopefully be durable
for the next 100k.

I figure that if I am going to time and effort to pull the axles and I want
to do it only one time in the foreseeable future this might be the best
course of action.

Any thoughts or feedback. Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

Sincerely,

Kevin P. Gilleran
