Yeah, likely gonna go with a lifetime warranty rebuilt oem. Odyssey won't pass md inspection, has some dry rot on one of the CV boots. Costs the same to replace the whole axle as the boot

That's because you have to take the whole thing out either way.

I'd probably just get the boot.

But then, I'm also the idiot who chased a boot failure from one side of the car to the other for no good reason at all, other than I didn't know what I was doing at the time.

My acuras had the same issue. $600 to replace both front axles with rebuilt ones. Every 24 mos. what's the charge on 'lifetime' warranty?????
 
Yup, this is what you think it is.

a 757hp corvette station wagon.

180 dollars all in, labor included, to replace that CV axle through yourmechanic.

Could not hope for better than that. 94 in labor, 78 in parts.

I hope the $78 axle isn't cheap chinesium.
 
other side was fine

Mechanic says he sees a lot of odysseys tear up the drivers front boot for no reason.
good, but weird. here (chicago area) the passenger side goes first supposedly due to speeding through the water on the curb side of the road constantly.

any thoughts on why the drivers side? Poor boot design not handling a tighter turn? edit: nope, that's not it. hmmmm.
