[QUOTE] by close inspection, you need to determine the cause of leakage. if you have the original honda shafts, and your boots have not been changed before now, they're almost certainly failing - it's highly unusual for oem honda shafts to be leak any way other than because of a cracked or damaged boot. regarding the cost of repair, brand new aftermarket shafts, no core charge, are under 0 each and they take about 10 minutes each to change. repairing the oem shafts, while a better technical solution because they're better quality and last longer, costs a lot more because the parts are expensive and there are multiple hours of work involved. while driving, you'll be challenged to tell any difference. and financially, most of the time, the significantly lower cost of aftermarkets, even though they don't last as long, mean you're still ahead.[/QUOTE] Plus if you get the Cardone ones from AdcanceAutoParts, they carry a lifetime warranty, so when they do crack the next time, you can get them swapped. So far knock on wood, they have lasted me almost three years.
