So the original inner CV axle boot split open - without me noticing. As expected, I only found out the hard way, when I heard the infamous clicking sound of a busted CV joint whilst on full lock, two weeks ago.
I wanted to change it out myself, but I didn't have the time. At my request, the mechanic gave me the old one to keep.
It is the outer CV joint that is busted, which I understand can't be repaired. Notwithstanding, should I clean the CV joint up, replace the boot and keep it for a spare on overland trips?
