Smh replace it

Not too long. When My boot broke I replaced it within a couple of days of me finding out. Don't let that grease in there dry out. You'll end up with one wheel looking left and the other one looking the opposite direction!

i read some where it will only last 701 miles. find an auto shop within 1 mile and you're golden.

yeah the ones on my dads civic were both ripped for like 4 or 5 months. I'd replace it as soon as you can but if you can't afford to yet it won't kill you to drive it a little longer.

this is definitely wrong. Your cv axles have nothing to do with any of your steering. worse thing that happens is it finally breaks **** flies everywhere and maybe the remaining part of the axle does some damage if its flailing around hitting **** at a high speed. You'll have to call a tow truck though cause your car won't move if you break an axle.

Don't let this go, especially if it's winter and there's salt on the roads.

I replaced my torn boots with split boots on my wifes toyota. I cleaned out all the old grease, repAcked it with fresh stuff. So far so good, i did that about 34k miles ago. I thought for sure i would have to replace them by now. Just make sure ur bearing dont have any grit and grime that got to them. If that happens, u need to replace the shaft
