Hello
i had my car in the shop for a routine oil change and the mechanic said my cv boots were leaking and needed repair, at the time there were no signs or symptoms of this so i declined to a tune of $550. now two weeks later when i turn left or right the car knocks. is this a result of that diagnosis? when i called another mechanic to compare repair prices he told me the whole axle needed to be replaced on both sides without even looking at it. He said if i only replaced the boots/joints that the shaft would eventually get ruined. Is this true? Can i only replace the joints? Thanks for your time.
