Cv boot alone although they can be replaced, because the joint is contaminated, they should be disassembled cleaned, and rebuilt, so it's cheaper to replace the entire axle with a rebuilt one, usually $80 dollars for the axle and 1 hour labor or so...Possibly some transmission fluid if it comes out during replacement!

Yep I agree with MERLIN2021, it is best to replace the CV axle instead, here is how the job is done it case you need it. Here is a video to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car.
