First, keep in mind that the axles on the automatic transaxle are different lengths, one side to the other. That given, unless the boots have been torn a long time, 108,000 miles isn't a lot. The FACTORY CV's, properly and routinely lubed will last as long as the engine if driven with reasonable care. Pull them off, clean and inspect them, and if the races are clean and there are no pits or rough spots on the ball bearings or races, lube well with redline or similar high pressure grease and put back on your car, with new boots, and be sure and check those boots regularly. They do get torn, and road grit will eat up CV's in short order. Good luck!
