Get a new half shaft. By the time you pay for the boots and labor, you can put in a new half shaft. I would not use split boots, they are junk IMHO. http://www.1stsubaruparts.com has good prices and service. If you want used halfshafts, I have them, $10+shipping.

97subaruGT Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I paid around 170 for mine. A new shaft ($110) and labor, a little over 1/2 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppichkopf Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I've used split boots before and found them to serve their purpose, which is to prolong the inevitable axle replacement. I like to think of them as band aids for a deep cut: they may stop the bleeding but they won't fix the problem. As most will say it's just better to replace the axle with a rebuilt.
